A yuefenpai (promotional decorative poster/calendar) for Horlick's Malted Milk (the Chinese text at top is that but right-to-left) for Republic of China year 6 (1917 CE), featuring a scene with Cao Cao & Guan Yu, generals fighting at the end of the Han dynasty (~220 CE)

Nice to see some different art styles! Thanks for the wiki links too. I never even heard of that brand before.

There are certain words - like "Uranus" - that are forever ruined by my inner child. "Horlicks" is one of those on that list as well.

That said, as a fan of malted milk, I'm bummed that this is not still around, or not around me anyway. Malted milk is tasty :)

Wha? Horlicks is in British food stores, some Asian markets, and of course you can get anything on the internet.
