Description: | This is an advertisement for Cooper, Cooper & Co. tea. During the 19th century tea was consumed by almost everyone regardless of their age, gender or class. It was a nutritious yet non alcoholic drink that sustained men whilst they worked long hours in the dockyards and in factories but was also a sophisticated beverage enjoyed at sedate gatherings by ladies of the upper classes. Tea was so popular that many different types were stocked by grocers and wholesalers; such as Lapsang Souchong, Green Tea, Assam, and Oolong. It is the cheaper black tea that is advertised on this leaflet. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
