Description

A smiling anthropomorphic pint of Guinness sits with folded arms and crossed legs beside the slogan “Have a Guinness when you’re tired.” The pared-back white ground, teal border and red Guinness lettering give the design immediate pub-display clarity.

The “tired” campaign belonged to Guinness’s long-running health-and-humour advertising tradition.

Colour lithograph printed by John Waddington Ltd., Leeds; linen-backed. Condition shows faint creasing, left-side marks, bottom scuffing and small upper-right damage; older lightweight linen backing is stable.
