A framed showcard for Mann, Crossman & Paulin Ltd Oatmeal Stout. The design features a vibrant green ground with yellow Mann’s typography to the upper section and three-dimensional red and yellow Oatmeal Stout lettering at the base. The central graphic depicts a dark amber bottle of stout alongside a full glass with a frothy head, a sheaf of oats, and a discarded screw-top bottle stopper. The bottle bears multiple printed labels, including a main brown label inscribed MANN CROSSMAN & PAULIN LTD, OATMEAL STOUT, and BOTTLED AT THE BREWERY STORES, featuring a central red circular seal with a white rampant horse emblem. A red neck seal is present for the Institute of Hygiene, accompanied by a text panel describing brewery inspections and product quality. A vertical band over the closure is inscribed SHOULD BE UNBROKEN WHEN RECEIVED. The lower section includes a black horizontal bar with the slogan NOURISHING — INVIGORATING. The sign is housed in a dark wooden frame with a white inner slip and a brown paper backing.

23.25 inches by 34.25 inches.
