This is an advert from the brochure for the Franco-British Exhibition, which was held in London during the fall of 1908. The event was a celebration of what was known as the Entente Cordiale, a sort of political, commercial, cultural agreement between Great Britain and France.
It is interesting to note that the Schweppes Ltd company was quite proud of the benefits of their “Proset” Fruit Beverage, claiming that “Its nourishing qualities equal those of Beer and Stout.”
The big question - put to you - is whether you would like a glass of fruit beverage, or a pint of really good stout?
