EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases ornamental moulds used in the late 19th century to create exquisite iced foods. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in these moulds, which were designed to shape frozen treats into the form of a hen and various vegetables. The image is taken from "The Book of Ices" by Agnes Marshall, a renowned cookery expert during that era. This cookbook was a treasure trove of recipes and techniques for creating cold desserts and puddings. These moulds were an essential tool for any gastronomy enthusiast or professional cook looking to impress their guests with beautifully decorated dishes. The intricate design of the hen-shaped mould captures the essence of poultry, complete with delicate feathers and even eggs laid within a basket. The vegetable-shaped moulds add further charm, allowing cooks to transform simple ingredients into stunning edible works of art. In an age before modern refrigeration methods, freezing food required specialized equipment like these ornate tins. They provided both practicality and aesthetic appeal, making them indispensable tools for any skilled craftsman or craftswoman in the kitchen. This print not only offers us a glimpse into culinary history but also serves as a reminder of the creativity and ingenuity displayed by cooks throughout time. It celebrates both the artistry involved in food preparation and our never-ending quest for innovative ways to delight our taste buds.
