Annual Beer Best Brewers Buyers Chalk Clifford Frederick Guide Halfpenny Harrison Tankards Written Shove Tabletop

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement illustration for The Brewers Society, dating back to circa 1939. The image invites us to imagine a convivial gathering of beer enthusiasts, as it showcases a tabletop scene filled with the warmth and camaraderie of a bygone era. Four glass tankards, each brimming with golden, frothy beer, sit proudly atop the table, their contents reflecting the inviting glow of the room's soft, yellow light. The table itself is adorned with a traditional shove halfpenny board, its surface worn from years of use and the phrase "Beer Is Best" written in chalk above the board, a testament to the group's shared appreciation for the simple pleasure of a well-poured pint. This evocative advertisement, created by the talented illustrator Frederick Clifford Harrison in the 1930s, was likely featured in an annual buyers' guide or similar publication for The Brewers Society. The 30s, a decade marked by economic recovery and a renewed appreciation for the simple joys in life, is reflected in the image's warm, nostalgic tone. The intricately detailed illustration, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to take a moment to savor the charm of this moment in time and the enduring appeal of a good beer shared among friends.
