Advertising Poster Bottle And Jug Guinness Is Good For You
Description
Original vintage Guinness advertising poster featuring a fun and colourful Alice In Wonderland themed illustration by the notable book illustrator and artist Anthony Groves-Raines (1913-1993) of Hatta the Mad Hatter holding a pint glass of Guinness and running away from Haigha the March Hare behind a tree in the woods watched by Alice and the chess set King with a bottle of Guinness next to flowers on the ground and a hedgehog looking annoyed at being disturbed, the characters from the fantasy world created by the well-known English writer Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson; 1832-1898) in Through The Looking-Glass (published in 1871) with a bottle of Guinness on a chained castle prison window ledge between the title in bold red letters and note in italics above - Bottle And Jug (A passage which, by some oversight, Lewis Carroll never wrote) - and the text below the image in black with the Guinness line in red: "Hatta's only just out of prison," said Haigha. "What was he in for?" Alice ventured to ask. "A month," said the King. "I mean," said Alice patiently, "What crime had he committed?" "He's going to take someone else's Guinness," replied the King nervously. "But does he go to prison before he takes the Guinness?" asked Alice. "Of course," said the King. "That's how we do it in Looking-Glass Land. Then when he does take it no one will mind." "Except me," said Haigha, stretching out his hand, just too late. "Will you have the goodness to return my Guinness," he cried to Hatta. "I can't have the Goodness if I return the Guinness," said Hatta. "My Goodness, your Guinness," he added. (With acknowledgements to Macmillan & Co Ltd.) Guinness is good for you.
