This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century London. The scene depicts an advertisement for Wills Coffee House, a popular establishment in the City of London during that era. Men are seen engrossed in conversation while savoring their cups of coffee at a wooden table, as a skilled waiter pours from an elegant coffee pot. 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.
