Gilbey's Gin is the brand named in this piece, and its globe-and-compass-star emblem is the detail that sets it apart from the other spirits advertisements on this board. The star-and-globe mark pointed to the firm's claim to a worldwide trade, a message aimed at buyers who wanted a gin with an international reputation. W. & A. Gilbey, the London wine and spirits house, built its name in the nineteenth century, and its gin became one of the best-known bottled brands in Britain. Advertising of this kind is worth studying for how it used simple heraldic-style symbols to suggest quality and reach.
