Title

On the breakfast tables of the world; Van Houten’s, A cocoa you can enjoy.

Publisher

C. J. Van Houten,

Date

[ca. 1890].

Description

Van Houten cocoa was introduced into the United States from Amsterdam in 1889 and marketed to be added to your breakfast cereal. A table pops up upon opening this trade card laden with images of the cocoa tin and cups of the chocolatey drink. An effective and evocative use of the pop-up!
