EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Indulgence: A Serving Maid from the Past Carries Chocolate and Water, Mary Evans Picture Library, 1743. This exquisite 18th-century image captures the essence of elegance and refinement as a serving maid, dressed in the height of fashion for a grand household, delicately carries a tray bearing a steaming cup of rich chocolate and a crystal glass filled with cool water. The maid's attire, featuring a cap adorned with ribbons and a full, flowing skirt, is reminiscent of the opulent styles popular during this period. Her poised and graceful demeanor speaks to her dedication to her mistress or master, ensuring their every need is met with the utmost care. Chocolate, a luxury item during this time, was considered a symbol of wealth and indulgence. The preparation and serving of this decadent beverage was often an intricate process, requiring the expertise of a skilled chocolatiere. The chocolate itself was made from cocoa beans imported from the New World, which were then ground and mixed with water, sugar, and spices to create a rich, velvety drink. The presence of a glass of water on the tray is an essential accompaniment to the chocolate, as it was believed that drinking water after consuming the beverage would help to cleanse the palate and enhance the overall experience. This thoughtful touch further underscores the maid's attentiveness and commitment to her duties. This evocative image, sourced from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the art of serving was a cherished and highly-regarded skill. The intricate details of the maid's attire, the elegant presentation of the chocolate and water, and the overall sense of refinement and grace make this an enduring and captivating work of historical art.
