Greene King beer labels

Sally Jeffery on the Internet Archive:

Six beer-bottle labels from a series designed and produced as part of Desmond Jeffery’s newly-specified house style for the Suffolk brewers Greene, King & Sons Ltd. The two- and three-colour line artwork was done on a drawing-board in pen and ink, with the lettering composed of pasted-up letterpress repro proofs (cut or notched as required to follow a curve). While wine and spirit labels could be printed on the Heidelberg platen, for beer labels the workshop supplied separated artwork to the brewery’s specialist label printers. Artwork by Sally Jeffery.
