Historical context

Dmitry Levitzky produced this engraving or print in 1818. 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. 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 2077 × 2500 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 8 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
