Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Gilbey’s Distilled London Dry Gin. This ad has two different items that have captions describing them; the first is a card, the King of Diamonds, that is sitting on a tabletop. The description for it says “…this diamond was known throughout Germany during the Confederation of the Rhine…on early 19th century piquet cards”. The next caption, next to the label that says Gilbey’s, says that “This diamond is known the world over today. It’s the label for the gin that’s dry, naturally dry…clear, crystal clear…the right proof, 90 proof, for perfect mixing, perfect taste”. Below this, there is a full bottle of Gilbey’s Distilled London Dry Gin next to a filled glass with the words next to it saying “Dry Clear Right proof”.
