Guinness My Goodness Where's The Guinness Goose
Rare original vintage Guinness poster - My Goodness where's the Guinness? - featuring fun artwork by the British graphic designer Alfred Ambrose Chew Leete (1882–1933) depicting a plucked goose with no feathers on its body smiling and sitting on a plate with the bold red text above set against the dark background. This scarce poster was issued during World War Two when paper shortages led Guinness to re-use old posters to print new ones; the solid blue background would conceal the image on the reverse. One of the world's most popular beer drink brands, Guinness is an Irish dry stout founded by Arthur Guinness in Dublin in 1759. Printed in Great Britain by Sanders Phillips & Co. Ltd., London. Large size. Fair condition, restored paper losses on edges, large restored tears through image, restored creasing, restored folds, staining, paint on image, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image 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, we 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 £25 for orders placed via our website.
