EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and feast your eyes on this enchanting image of the Auto-Novum self-service restaurant in Rotterdam, Netherlands, circa 1910. Located on Korte Hoogstraat, this innovative eatery showcases the city's rich European history and the emerging Art Nouveau style. The interior of the restaurant is a visual treat, with its elegant tables and chairs arranged in an inviting and spacious room. The high ceilings, adorned with intricate Art Nouveau designs, add to the grandeur of the space. The large windows allow natural light to filter in, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. But what sets this restaurant apart from others of the time was its self-service concept, a precursor to the modern-day automat. The word "Auto-Novum" in the name is a nod to the automation of the service, allowing customers to select their meals from glass-enclosed cabinets and pay using a coin-operated system. This revolutionary approach to dining was a hit with the people of Rotterdam and beyond, making the Auto-Novum a popular destination for both locals and tourists. This postcard, taken in the 1910s, captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when innovation and style came together to create a unique dining experience. The Auto-Novum self-service restaurant in Rotterdam remains a testament to the city's rich history and its commitment to embracing new ideas.
