What could go better with a cigarette than a nice cold beer? So a look at the illustrated beer ads of the 50's seemed like a natural to follow up last week's look at smoking.
Quite a few well known illustrators (like Austin Briggs, at left) created artwork for beer ads in general and Schlitz in particular. Over the next few days we'll take a look at some of that art - but you'll already find a few really nice pieces in my Beverages Flickr set.
I'm thirsty all of a sudden ;)
ReplyDeleteBelieve me Dom, we will quench that thirst this week! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLeif, I can't imagine that there was ever a time, or even a planet, where company picnics were conducted like that. You seem to find the strangest things!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that this topic means that we will be seeing some John Gannam this week....?
Your wish is my command, David. I was scanning some Gannam as your comment notification arrived in my mailbox!
