Continua a leggerePublished by Currier & Ives in 1876, Centennial Bock Bier; The best can be had here turns a beer advertisement into a crowded comic pageant. At its centre, a jovial horned figure in formal dress raises a foaming mug, surrounded by revellers, ornamental foliage and emphatic lettering. Rich browns and dense blacks are punctuated by pale highlights, giving the commercial lithograph the immediate, high-contrast force needed to command attention in a busy public setting.
The date places the design within the celebratory atmosphere of the United States Centennial, when the hundredth anniversary of American independence generated a profusion of commemorative and promotional imagery. Currier & Ives, best known for affordable prints of news events, landscapes, city life and domestic scenes, also applied its accessible visual language to advertising. Here, national festivity and convivial salesmanship are deliberately intertwined: “Centennial” establishes the occasion, while “Bock Bier” and the promise that “THE BEST, CAN BE HAD HERE” deliver the message with cheerful directness.
A closer look
The composition is organised less as a receding scene than as a series of tightly packed layers. The central character occupies the visual foreground, his raised glass, broad expression and dark evening clothes forming a focal point beneath the arched headline. His horns are more than an eccentric costume detail. Because Bock also means billy goat in German, the animal became a familiar visual pun in the presentation of this German-rooted beer style; Currier & Ives humanises that association as a genial master of ceremonies.
Around him, the gathering expands into a lively assortment of faces, hats, gestures, glasses and bottles. Figures in varied historical dress crowd the lower and side areas, each rendered with enough individual expression to create the impression of a noisy, animated company. Among them is a figure in a feathered headdress, part of the print’s broad and distinctly nineteenth-century use of costume and character types. Rather than creating deep spatial recession, the overlapping bodies keep the action pressed close to the surface, where every face contributes to the poster’s theatrical abundance.
The lettering is woven into this activity rather than added as an afterthought. “Centennial” curves across the upper portion, with “Bock Bier” immediately below it, establishing a clear sequence before the eye reaches the concluding line at the bottom. Stars, vines and grape-like foliage soften the transition between text and illustration, while the pale beer mug stands out crisply against the darker clothing of the central figure. Even small details—the patterned hats, glinting vessels and varied textures of the costumes—reinforce the sense of plentifulness on which the advertisement depends.
Context and significance
Currier & Ives built its reputation by making topical and decorative imagery available to a broad American audience. Its catalogue encompassed public events and popular entertainment as readily as rural idylls, ships, sporting scenes and portraits. This advertisement reveals the commercial end of that same visual culture: storytelling, caricature, ornament and bold typography are all enlisted to make a product memorable.
The print also belongs to a period in which beer advertising was becoming increasingly pictorial and public-facing, drawing upon humour and recognisable symbols rather than relying on text alone. Its anthropomorphic bock figure gives the drink a personality, while the Centennial theme attaches it to a larger mood of communal celebration. The result is both an advertisement and a compact specimen of 1870s American graphic culture—boisterous, densely worked and confident in the persuasive pleasure of a good visual joke.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.
If you need your order by a particular date, please contact us before ordering. We’ll check the best production route and delivery option for your location.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
