Historical context

Friedrich Salathé / After Johann Jacob Steinmann produced this oil on canvas in c. 1839. The piece is held by Google Cultural Institute and is in the public domain under Public Domain; we sourced the file from the institution’s open-access program and prepared it for archival printing.

On the category. Coffee as global agricultural object — Brazilian fazenda canvases, Caribbean plantation lithographs, Indonesian and African origin views. We treat the category with curatorial care: the visual document is unique, the labor system depicted is part of the history, and we name it when the iconography asks for it.

The master file is 5888 × 3799 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 19 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
