For the designer

Art Nouveau, Art Deco, the chromolithographic peak of European commercial print — the work that influenced everything from interwar advertising to today’s specialty-coffee branding.

Why this set

The designer who works in hospitality, branding, or print already knows the names: Privat-Livemont, Meunier, Steinlen, Auriol. This is the canon of European graphic design at the moment when commercial print became taste.

Coffee Posters

An independent visual archive of coffee, 1700–1925. We work through Wellcome, Gallica, the Rijksmuseum, Museu Paulista, the Library of Congress, and the institutional collections where the printed record of coffee survives. We restore what we find. Nothing is designed, nothing is faked.
