EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing illustration from the renowned treatise "Traite Nouveau et Curieux du Cafe, du The et du Chocolat" by Philippe Sylvestre Dufour. Published in 1693, this engraving takes us back to a time when coffee, tea, and chocolate were exotic commodities that fascinated people across the globe. The image depicts a scene filled with cultural diversity and indulgence. A group of individuals dressed in elaborate Oriental costumes gather around a table adorned with bowls of chocolates and various beverages. Their attire reflects their origins - we see feathers reminiscent of Native American headdresses, turbans worn by Turks, and traditional Chinese garments. Intriguingly half-naked figures are present as well; perhaps representing the allure of these delectable treats or symbolizing the sensual nature associated with them during that era. Weapons such as bows add an element of mystery to this gathering. This illustration not only captures the essence of different cultures coming together but also highlights the significance placed on these delightful drinks and sweets during this period. It serves as a reminder of how food can transcend borders, bringing people from diverse backgrounds together to savor new flavors and experiences. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artwork is a testament to our enduring fascination with culinary delights throughout history.
