A bold framed Guinness advertising poster issued by the Guinness Museum at St. James’s Gate, Dublin, during the 1990s. The design is based on John Gilroy’s iconic 1959 “Guinness for Strength” artwork, one of the most recognisable images in 20th-century British and Irish advertising.

The scene shows a cheerful worker pulling a cart carrying a full horse, a humorous and instantly recognisable visual metaphor for Guinness’s famed strength. Strong red typography, confident illustration, and clear graphic impact make this a classic example of mid-century advertising design, reissued for display and collecting.

Presented under glass in a metal frame and ready to hang, this piece works particularly well in bar spaces, studies, kitchens, or commercial-style interiors.
