EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Artificially Served Ices, a delightful dessert sensation from the late Victorian era, circa 1890. The photograph, presented by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a vibrant and colourful assortment of iced treats that would have graced the tables of the most elegant soirees during this period. Artificially Served Ices were a popular alternative to naturally frozen ices, which required the use of ice harvested from natural sources. These artificially produced ices allowed for a wider range of flavours and colours, as well as the ability to create intricate shapes and designs. The ices were typically made by combining sugar syrup, flavourings, and colourings with milk or cream, then freezing the mixture in molds. The resulting ices are displayed in this photograph in a dazzling array of bright hues and playful shapes. From the elegant asparagus green and purple cones to the striped pink and red disks, each iced dessert is a work of art in its own right. The use of flowers and flower designs adds an extra touch of whimsy and elegance to the presentation. This image offers a glimpse into the practical and artistic side of Victorian cookery, where innovation and creativity were key components of the culinary world. The Artificially Served Ices not only satisfied the sweet tooth but also provided visual delight, making them a must-have for any Victorian-era feast.
