Bonnet Boots Brand Cacao Chocolate Collectors Doll Dolly Favourite Houten Outfit Write
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from the late 1890s, two young girls, dressed in Victorian attire, sit at a table and focus intently on the wall before them. The girls, one with a blue dress and a white bonnet, and the other in a red outfit and a matching hat, each hold a chalk in hand. The wall behind them is adorned with a large, ornate mirror, and above it, they have written the name of their favorite hot chocolate brand in elegant, cursive script: "Cacao Van Houten." The girls' faces are filled with concentration as they carefully write each letter, their expressions revealing their excitement and delight. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and innocence, transporting us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and handwritten notes. The girls' dolls or "dolly" are placed on the table next to them, adding to the whimsical atmosphere of the image. The presence of the dolls suggests that this is a special moment for the girls, perhaps a game or a pretend tea party. The girls' boots and outfits are also noteworthy, reflecting the attention to detail and care taken in their appearance during this time period. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the joy and simplicity of childhood, and the enduring appeal of a warm cup of hot chocolate. The brand name, Cacao Van Houten, may not be as well-known today, but it was once a popular choice for those seeking a rich and indulgent hot chocolate experience. This image is a treasure for collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
