Miller Beer Girl, advertising poster illustration, circa 1930-1940
Gouache on board
22 x 17 in.

This piece, commissioned by the A. AC. Schultz Lithographic Company, was recently discovered in an abandoned Milwaukee, Wisconsin warehouse. This piece is a splendid example of a nostalgic, post-Prohibition look back at turn-of-the-century German beer advertising. Original brewery illustration is quite scarce.
