Tooheys Australian Beer Vintage Poster (1920s) | Art Deco Reproduction Print

Raise a glass to Australian graphic history with this magnificent Tooheys Mild Bitter Ale poster reproduction. This iconic 1920s print is a cornerstone of early Art Deco advertising, celebrating the brand's rise to "highest favour."

Tooheys, a major Sydney-based brewery, commissioned posters in the 1920s that embraced the clean, geometric aesthetic sweeping the globe. This advertisement is a powerful visual statement:

• Art Deco Action: The design utilizes bold, simplified forms and flat color blocks to create a dynamic, almost heroic figure hoisting a massive bottle of ale. This dramatic posture, with the figure's body abstracted into geometric planes, perfectly captures the Streamline Moderne influence.

• Graphic Impact: The poster uses a limited palette (tan, deep blue, red, and white) to achieve maximum impact. The strong, blocky typography and the central image communicate confidence, strength, and progress—qualities integral to the brand's identity and the optimistic post-WWI era.

• Australian Design History: This print is essential for documenting the adoption of Modernist graphic design in Australian commercial art, moving away from fussy illustration toward bold, functional advertising.
