850

This Big D Drewrys Advertisement is an ad from the 1950-1960s. It specifically targets the African American upper class, which is not commonly seen in the past decades, as it incorporates the image of a social gathering among the African American upper class people with Drewrys beer glass. It also uses serif type font which gives a classy, rich aesthetic to the ad, selling the beer as a commodity for high end gatherings.
