Continua a leggereCarl Burckardt’s Heute Bockbier!, made around 1900, turns a simple announcement — “Bock beer today!” — into a piece of spirited visual theatre. Two gnome-like figures crowd around an oversized foaming mug, their bent bodies, vivid clothing and eager expressions giving the encounter the air of a marvellous discovery. Bold black lettering anchors the lower edge, while twisting hop vines rise along the sides and bind the drinking scene to the ingredients and imagery of brewing.
The poster belongs to a period when commercial art was becoming an increasingly prominent feature of German city streets and shop windows. Bright colour, emphatic outlines and memorable characters allowed an advertisement to communicate quickly in a busy public setting. Burckardt, active in Germany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, uses precisely that economy: the message is brief, the beer monumental and the mood unmistakably convivial. Bock, a strong beer style with longstanding seasonal associations, is presented not as an everyday commodity but as an occasion worth announcing.
A closer look
The composition is built around the comically disproportionate beer mug in the central foreground. Both figures lean towards it, creating a pair of diagonals that concentrate attention on the pale foam at its rim. One wears a red upper garment with blue trousers; the other combines blue with purplish tones. Dark, decisive contours keep their compact silhouettes clear against the softly coloured ground, while small folds and decorative details in their clothing lend each character an individual, storybook presence.
Around them, green leaves and hop flowers curl upwards in a loose botanical frame. These organic lines soften the blocky forms of the lettering and generate movement through an otherwise shallow, poster-like space. The restrained background is particularly effective: rather than constructing a detailed setting, Burckardt leaves the central encounter isolated and immediately legible. A six-pointed star appears above the figures, adding a crisp geometric note amid the looping stems and irregular foliage, while a faint border contains the exuberant arrangement.
The words Heute Bockbier! occupy the bottom of the design in heavy black type. Their placement gives the poster a clear sequence: first the humorous figures and towering drink catch the eye, then the terse announcement explains the scene. The exclamation mark is integral to the tone, converting information into a public cry. Even the smallest details — the textured froth, leaves edging the figures’ hats and the concentrated expressions as they peer towards the mug — support the poster’s genial exaggeration.
Context and significance
At the turn of the twentieth century, posters offered artists a distinctly modern challenge: an effective design had to be understood at a glance, often from a distance, yet remain distinctive enough to lodge in the memory. Heute Bockbier! answers that challenge through flat areas of strong colour, forceful typography and a compact visual anecdote. Its playful fantasy does more than decorate the advertisement; it gives the product a cast of characters and a celebratory atmosphere.
Burckardt’s design preserves the directness of early beverage advertising while revealing how inventive such commercial images could be. Its combination of brewing motifs, folkloric humour and disciplined graphic hierarchy makes the poster both an engaging record of everyday drinking culture and a deft example of turn-of-the-century visual communication.
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.

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.
