Quad advertising poster, Beer, "Have a Guinness when you're tired"
is a classic vintage advertisement for Guinness stout. The poster features a whimsical illustration of a tortoise carrying a pint of Guinness on its shell, with the slogan positioned to the side.
This advertisement is part of a larger campaign known as the "Guinness Menagerie," which featured a variety of animals. The campaign was created by the artist John Gilroy for the advertising agency S.H. Benson, and it ran from the 1930s to the 1960s. Other well-known ads from this era include those with a toucan, a sea lion, and an ostrich, all of which are depicted in playful and often humorous ways alongside a zookeeper who is a caricature of Gilroy himself. The slogan "Guinness is Good for You" was a key theme of these campaigns, which were designed to build a positive image for the brand. |
