The goal of this project is to consolidate as much Newfoundland beer/brewery history into one place as possible. The Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, at the University of Toronto, has a large collection of old beer labels donated by Lawrence C. Sherk which have been scanned in very high quality. Since they are creative commons licensed for sharing, remixing, or commercializing with the condition that “[y]ou must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work),” here are a few of the older Black Horse ones:
-
- Dawes Black Horse Ale label circa 1888-1926.
-
- Dawes Black Horse Extra Fine label circa 1910-1939.
-
- Dawes Black Horse Porter label circa 1921-1939.
