Description

This advertisement is for the Launceston, Tasmania, brewing company James Boag’s ‘St George’ beer. The slogan of the commercial is ‘Gallantry is back’, which plays on one of the attributes associated with St George, that of honour. In medieval chivalric culture St George was also depicted as showing great chivalry towards women, and this is the notion found in the advertisement. The advertisement concludes with the logo of a mounted St George coming to life and trampling a dragon underfoot.
