The center of the tray features King Gambrinus, also known as the patron of beer and brewing, he is depicted here filling a stein. The King is surrounded by approximately 15 other characters, including “Mr. Dry” who represents the prohibitionist and is seated in the front reading a newspaper and wearing a sour face and top hat. This lithograph tray was issued for Arrow Beer by the Globe Brewery, originally located on South Hanover Street it was built over as part of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
