About this work

Description

Full colour leaflet promoting Taylor Brothers' cocoa, advertised as being homoeopathic and dietetic. It was claimed by "medical men" to be "soothing to the nervous system ... restorative, invigorating and sustaining, refreshing, sanative and antiseptic" and ideal for "invalids and convalescents". The front shows an illustration of a cacao nut resting on leaves with a view through a plantation to a mill beyond. There is a vignette of a "view of Cocoa Walk & drying house, Trinidad" above, which can be lifted to reveal the Taylor Brothers cocoa / chocolate and mustard mills in London beneath it. The cocoa was advertised across the world in the late 1870s.
