Historical context

Joseph Swain produced this print in 1873. The piece is held by Wikimedia Commons (institutional source) 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. Cross-category coffee material — ephemera, magazine illustration, trade cards, cabaret programs of coffee-adjacent Belle Époque venues.

The master file is 1805 × 1401 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 6 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
