Historical context

Tiffany & Co produced this drawing in 1889. The piece is held by Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and is in the public domain under CC0 — Public Domain Dedication; we sourced the file from the institution’s open-access program and prepared it for archival printing.

On the category. Hand grinders, ibriks, percolators, brewing devices, and roasters in painting and engraving. The objects in these pieces are still recognizable to a working barista; the way they were rendered is the document.

The master file is 3253 × 3790 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 12 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
