The image exudes a sense of warmth and camaraderie, capturing the essence of socializing over this beloved beverage. It transports us to a time when coffee houses were vibrant hubs of intellectual exchange and lively discussions. The furniture and decor reflect the style prevalent in that period, adding authenticity to the setting. This trade card was featured in John Hampson's book "The English At Table" published by William Collins in 1944. Its inclusion showcases how deeply ingrained coffee culture has been throughout British history.
