EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century silhouette print showcases the original Cadbury Brothers, John (left) and Benjamin, founders of the renowned chocolate manufacturing business that would later become a global sensation. The brothers' intriguing profiles, framed against the backdrop of an elegant, dark silhouette, offer a glimpse into their enigmatic personalities. John, born in 1801, and Benjamin, born in 1798, were pioneers in their field, using innovative methods to produce high-quality chocolate. Their dedication to their craft led to the establishment of their business in Birmingham, England, in 1824. The brothers' signatures, with their distinctive handwriting, are visible at the bottom of the print, adding a personal touch to this historical artifact. The meticulously crafted silhouettes not only serve as a visual representation of the Cadbury Brothers but also as a testament to the art of silhouette portraiture, a popular form of portrait-making during the Victorian era. This unique and captivating print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the individuals who played a pivotal role in the history of chocolate manufacturing.
