Mr. Lemon Hart and Mr. Lamb take their respective dark rums for a ride on a tandem bicycle in an advertising poster by Ronald Searle. Here the campaign was, like the bicycle, built for two. It ran between 1951 and 1962, propelled forward for just over a decade despite that rather limp bicycle chain.
