A black and white advertisement for Guinness titled '1759-1959 200 Years of Guinness' and numbered GD.1 the first Irish press advertisement for Guinness stout. It has a picture of Arthur Guinness on the left and some text describing a little of the development of Guinness.
Guinness advertising has been iconic for a long time, but most of the advertising now seen in pubs here was never used in Ireland. This is an original proof of the first print ad ever published in Dublin. GD1, as it is known, was produced in 1959 – the bicentenary of the company.
