Description

John Gilroy’s Guinness poster turns the daily-pint slogan into a comic weekly procession: seven glasses of stout, each capped by a smiling face in the creamy head, beneath the bold red line “A Guinness a day.” The familiar campaign claim “GUINNESS IS GOOD FOR YOU” anchors the composition below.

Printed in Great Britain by John Waddington Ltd., Leeds, this vertical issue carries Guinness reference G.A./P.I/951. The anthropomorphic pints, spare white ground and oversized typography give the design exceptional graphic impact and make it a classic example of British breweriana.
