Date Sold 5/3/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Linenbacked English Advertising Poster (measures 30" x 39 3/4" [76 x 101 cm]) (Learn More) The Mazawattee Tea Company, founded in London in 1887 by the Densham family, was one of the most important and most advertised tea firms in England during the late 19th century. Traditionally the origin of tea-drinking lies in China and the famous Tea Clipper ships raced across the seas to bring tea to London. In the 18th century, tea had become an important drink in Britain especially for the wealthy, but it was not until the 1850s (by which time tea plantations had been successfully established in India, especially in Assam, and in Ceylon) that a real expansion occurred. The Densham family were at the forefront of this period of growth. Originally from Plymouth, Devon, they moved to London and managed to amass a fortune from the business in quite a short time. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster was printed in two sections. It appears they were printed on the back of some other poster, because when you hold it to a strong light, you can see signs of other printing on the back. However, it does not show to the front, and the poster was otherwise in really nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and it will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
