EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Coffee, 1899" takes us back to the belle époque era of the late 19th century. The image showcases a scene from a bustling European café, where workers are engaged in various activities related to coffee production. The artwork was originally created as part of a series of illustrations for promotional trade cards by Liebig, a renowned meat extract company. In this lively depiction, we see men and women diligently picking coffee beans while others enjoy moments of relaxation amidst their work. A male servant can be seen playing a game with another gentleman on an intricately designed carpet, adding an element of leisure to the atmosphere. The art nouveau style is evident in the intricate details and flowing lines that adorn both the surroundings and the individuals present. The significance of Liebig's meat extract or bouillon during this time cannot be understated; it became a staple food in European households and played an essential role during World War II. This particular piece serves as both an advertisement for Liebig's product and as a celebration of coffee culture. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this print transports us to another time - one filled with nourishment, enjoyment, and appreciation for the simple pleasures found within a cup of coffee.
