Description
This original Guinness print shows a comic maltings interior beneath the title “The Gentle Art of Making Guinness.” Workers tend the barley with improbable balloons, magnets and wheeled contraptions, while the lower caption reads “Industry in the Guinness Maltings,” turning a brewery process into a humorous mechanical spectacle.
The sheet belongs to John Ireland’s twelve-image Guinness series produced for the 1981 Guinness calendar.
The design uses fine pen line, soft watercolour-style colouring and gently absurd engineering detail.
