Historical context

Unknown author produced this oil or print in 1650. 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. Genre painting and printmaking of the act of drinking coffee runs from 18th-century French rococo to late-19th-century Impressionist café-concert work. The register varies; the subject is recognizable across two hundred years.

The master file is 1857 × 2853 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 9 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
