Helm Cocoa, Livemont, 1899

A woman in green over a steaming cup of cocoa.

What

Privat-Livemont's poster for Helm Cocoa of the Nederlandsche Cacaofabriek, Helmond, Holland, colour lithograph, 1899; 151 by 64.9 cm; Library of Congress, LCCN 2005693040.

Why

Livemont was the Belgian master of the Art Nouveau woman, and he drew her here with steam rising from the cup.

Notice

A small child sits among pink blossoms at her feet, and a white arch of ornament frames her against red.

“A Dutch cocoa, a Belgian artist, an English slogan.”
