Description

This original Guinness print shows a whimsical brewery interior beneath the title “The Gentle Art of Making Guinness.” The caption reads “Filtering The Guinness Wort,” while white-coated tasters and workers inspect an absurd Heath Robinson-style filtration contraption.

The sheet belongs to John Ireland’s twelve-part Guinness series produced for the 1981 Guinness calendar.

The design uses fine line, soft watercolour modelling and comic mechanical detail.
