Rugby League Posters

From the 1930s until the 70s, Tooth's Rugby League posters were a familiar feature on the outside of pub walls across New South Wales.

Rugby League Posters

This Rugby League poster depicts a Test match battle
between Australia and Great Britain.

The displays were used by Tooth and Co. for Tooths Beer advertising from the mid 1930s to 1969. Over 6000 were made, today only a handful remain.They were often commissioned and completed for a particular hotel, depending upon its location or desired image.

The subject matter and appearance varied extensively. These works were not mass-produced advertising graphics. They are considered more as a unique, small-series works of commercial art in a popular style.
