Continua a leggerePublished by Wilson, Wagner & Co. in 1887, Ah, there turns a convivial meal into a compact piece of visual comedy. A moustachioed diner, resplendent in a red coat and checked waistcoat, raises a gleaming beer stein as a goat peers in from the upper left. Their exchanged glances animate the composition: the man appears delighted by his unexpected companion, while the goat’s bright eyes and protruding tongue lend the encounter an air of cheerful mischief. Warm yellows and emphatic reds are set against fresh green foliage, giving the scene the immediate impact associated with popular late nineteenth-century poster design.
The poster belongs to a period when American commercial print culture was expanding rapidly. Publishers such as Wilson, Wagner & Co. produced colourful images intended to catch the eye and communicate their humour at once, drawing upon the broader worlds of illustrated magazines, theatrical imagery and beverage advertising. Advances in colour printing made such richly coloured popular pictures increasingly familiar to a wide audience. Here, anecdotal detail and broad characterisation work together: the title reads almost like a line delivered on stage, fixing the moment as a comic exchange rather than a formal dining scene.
A closer look
The arrangement is deliberately off-centre. The man fills the lower right of the poster, his rounded face, broad smile and substantial moustache framed by the scarlet of his coat. The goat enters diagonally from above, its pale head emerging among trailing green leaves. This opposition creates a lively zigzag across the otherwise light, relatively spare background. The stein occupies the space between the two figures, catching the light in silvery highlights and acting almost as a prop in their wordless conversation.
Beneath this encounter, the table supplies a miniature feast. A fish rests on a plate alongside sausages, bread and garnishes, while utensils and a small condiment holder add touches of domestic specificity. The white tablecloth forms a broad pale interval between the brightly dressed diner and the varied browns, greens and golden tones of the food. These details make the joke more tangible: the goat has not wandered into an abstract setting but into the middle of an abundant meal, where its close attention may not be entirely innocent.
The treatment shifts neatly between bold poster-like shapes and finer descriptive passages. Flat areas of red, yellow and green establish the design from a distance, while closer inspection reveals the pattern of the waistcoat, the modelling of the man’s face, reflections across the stein and the goat’s carefully sharpened expression. In the lower right, the stylised words “AH THERE” function as both caption and punchline. Their placement beside the diner makes the phrase feel spoken, yet its precise addressee—goat, drink or audience—remains comically open.
Context and significance
Ah, there reflects the late nineteenth-century appetite for pictures built around recognisable social types, everyday pleasures and quickly legible jokes. Food and drink provide the scene’s convivial framework, but the humour depends upon the intrusion of the animal and the almost theatrical response it provokes. Rather than constructing deep pictorial space, the design brings figures, table and lettering close to the surface, allowing gesture, colour and expression to carry the narrative.
Its appeal lies in that economy of storytelling. A raised stein, an expectant goat and a richly laid table are enough to suggest an entire comic episode. At once a beverage poster and a small study in popular entertainment, the work preserves the buoyant, direct visual language through which commercial printmakers addressed the audiences of 1887.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Most orders are made locally and delivered in around 2–3 working days, depending on the product, size and destination.
We print and frame maps and artwork in 24 countries around the world, so your order is usually made close to you or your recipient. That means faster delivery, less time in transit, and no customs or import duty surprises.
Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
