For the cafe owner

Belle Époque coffee posters and Art Nouveau cabaret programs — the kind of work a serious cafe owner hangs behind the bar because it tells the customer something about taste before the cup arrives.

Why this set

A cafe owner with a real-money interior budget doesn’t want a generic vintage poster. They want documented archival work, restoration credit, and the option to print at scale. Every piece here is institutionally sourced (Wellcome, Gallica, the Library of Congress, Wikimedia) and prepared in three print sizes, the largest sized for full-poster scale behind a counter.

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.
