I remember this one from somewhere. What is the story on it?

Si,
When I son toured the Guinness Brewery in Ireland he bought a big pack of coasters with these types of illustrations, all by a guy named Gilroy. I think Gilroy had a contract with the Guinness advertising department in the 30s and 40s. There is more to it that but off hand I forgot the details.

Si,
I have a blog someplace showing a bunch of these coasters. I think you might find it by putting "Gilroy was here" in the blank in the upper left that says "search this blog"
