Behind Every Great Man - Worthington (1961)
Year: 1961
Format: Beermat
Illustrator: Geoffrey Salter
Client: Worthington
Details: Geoffrey Salter illustrated a series of beer mats and press adverts for Worthington in 1961.
Each design features a respectable professional man such as an army major or judge (or conductor, as seen here) with a bottle of Green Shield revealed on the reverse side.
Salter created book covers in a similarly confident and characterful line-drawn style for P. G. Wodehouse novels published by Penguin in the 1960s. He also created work for clients including BEA and Guinness during the 1950s and 60s.
