DescriptionAn impressive combination of typefaces and Victorian illustrations in the manner of a vintage broadside, this poster advertises Booth’s House of Lords, a British gin. The poster would become well known after Daniel Kramer photographed Joan Baez and Bob Dylan standing in front of it at Newark Airport, casually blocking the actual product and highlighting the protest portion of the advertisement.
