EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of an afternoon chocolate case from the early 1900s, as showcased in Mary Evans Picture Library's extensive collection. This historical photograph transports us to a bygone era, where the simple pleasure of enjoying a warm beverage took on a grandeur and sophistication that is rarely seen today. Chocolate, once considered a luxury item, was a popular drink during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Unlike the modern-day conception of chocolate as a sweet treat, this chocolate was made from cocoa beans, water, and sugar, creating a rich, bitter, and slightly grainy beverage. The preparation and consumption of chocolate were considered significant social events, often taking place in the afternoon when the sun began to set and the day's work came to an end. This stunning photograph captures the essence of an afternoon chocolate session, with a beautifully decorated case filled with an array of chocolate pots, cups, and saucers. The intricate design on the case, adorned with delicate flowers and intricate patterns, speaks to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating such an essential piece of Victorian home life. The image also reveals the importance of tea and chocolate as staples of the Victorian afternoon tea tradition. The presence of a tea set alongside the chocolate case suggests that the two beverages were often enjoyed together, creating a delightful and indulgent way to unwind after a long day. This photograph is an enchanting glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the history of chocolate and its role in the social and cultural landscape of the early 1900s. With its intriguing details and captivating imagery, it is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of food, tea, or the Victorian era.
