Guinness for Strength Gilroy
Original vintage drink advertising poster - Guinness for Strength - featuring a fun and colourful image by the English artist John Gilroy (John Thomas Young Gilroy; 1898-1985) showing a happy farmer on a country lane pulling his wooden cart with his work horse inside the cart enjoying the ride, a bottle visible at the back and a small bird on the right looking surprised at seeing the two swapping places, the text above in bold red letters. Guinness is an Irish stout and one of the world's most well known draught beer brands and the best selling alcohol in Ireland (since 1759). Printed in England by John Waddington Ltd, Leeds. Good condition, restored paper loss on the second 'S' of Guinness and tears, minor staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
