About the Item

To see more, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller." Herbert Harris (1888 - 1962) Bovril - vi terra a galla ("Bovril keeps you afloat") Lithograph 128 x 90 cm An original vintage poster advertising Bovril. The poster was designed in 1920 by notable poster artist Herbert Harris for the advertising agency S H Bentley. It originally read 'Bovril prevents that sinking feeling' in English. Bovril, says the poster, is the ultimate comfort, and will keep you going in adversity. The Italian version of the poster, published in the 1930s, instead supplied "Bovril - vi terra a galla" - "Bovril keeps you afloat". German and French versions with appropriate idioms were also produced; these European versions of the poster were Musso & Co. and designed by the Max Dalang Atelier, both in Zurich.
