Cigarette Coffee Copes Ellam Models Stall
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph, titled "Coffee Stall" by artist William Henry Ellam, dates back to approximately 1930. The image captures the essence of a lively country fair, with its vibrant atmosphere and intriguing array of sights and sounds. At the heart of the scene is a coffee stall, where a cheerful vendor serves up steaming hot cups of coffee to weary fairgoers. The coffee stall is flanked by an assortment of Copes Toy Models, which were popular collectibles during the early 20th century. The cigarette cards, featuring these toy models, were often given away as promotional items with packs of cigarettes. The models, displayed on the stall, showcase a variety of intricately designed vehicles, from cars and motorcycles to boats and trains. The country fair setting adds to the nostalgic feel of the photograph. Fairgoers can be seen milling about in the background, some engaged in animated conversations, while others appear to be admiring the toy models or enjoying their coffee. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, and the vibrant colors of the stall and the fairground rides create a sense of joy and excitement. William Henry Ellam, the artist behind this image, expertly captures the essence of a bygone era. His attention to detail and ability to convey the lively spirit of the fair make this photograph a true treasure for anyone with an appreciation for history and the simple pleasures of the past.
