Beer In Ads #2987: Poretti Pond

May 7, 2019 By Jay Brooks

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 3993724870_6a0224e391.jpg

Tuesday’s ad is for Birra Poretti, from around 1900. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Birificio Angelo Poretti, a brewery located in Varese, Italy. The brewery was founded in 1877, but in 1982 the Carlsberg Group bought a 50% stake, which today is 75%. This poster was part of a series of art nouveau prints created by Italian artist Ludovico Cavaleri who was a fine artist first, but also worked as an illustrator and commercial artist.

And here is another version of the same poster artwork, but just the top half, suggesting it may have been in two parts, or maybe it simply folded.

The image above is probably closest to the original, but the one below shows the colors more brightly, although I suspect it’s reproduction because the detail isn’t nearly as sharp.

Tuesday’s ad is for Triumphator Löwenbräu, from 1940 or 1950. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This more recent poster is for Triumphator Löwenbräu, a doppelbock brand from the brewery, Löwenbräu AG, located in Munich. The beer is still being brewed today. No one seems to know who the artist was, and at least one source thinks he or she may have been Swiss, although most believe the artist was German.

Sunday’s ad is for Bière du Cardinal Friborg, from 1910. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced.

It’s not known who the artist is that created this poster, at least I wasn’t able to discover who made it.
