About the Item

Original vintage drink advertising poster for Guinness - See the Guinness Animals at Edinburgh Zoo - featuring a fun and colourful image of all the iconic Guinness animals gathered around a zoo keeper wearing a green uniform and cap and sitting on a smiling crocodile, including a toucan bird on the arm of a bear, an ostrich with the shape of a pint glass in its throat, a seal, lion, polar bear, kangaroo with a joey peeking out from her pouch, a penguin, pelican, turtle and a sloth hanging upside down from a tree in the corner, the bold title text in red. Many of these animals were part of a popular advertising campaign run by Guinness during the 1930s and 1940s, which included slogans with images of animals by the English artist, John Gilroy (1898-1985). One of the world's most popular brands of beer drink, Guinness is an Irish dry stout founded by Arthur Guinness in Dublin in 1759. Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland was opened in 1913 as the Scottish National Zoological Park. Printed by Wickham Displays Limited. Good condition, small restored tears, browning, backed on linen.
