Horniman’s Tea ad

Posted: July 20th, 2024 | 1 Comment »

A poster for Horniman’s Tea, founded in 1826 on the Isle of Wight, the inventor of packaged tea whose wealth created the Horniman Museum in London. Showing their London warehouses & “Shanghai” plantations (probably because more warehouses, which they had in Shanghai, were boring), which were actually in Fuzhou and tea country.

    Do you have permission to use this image – I now own this exact poster in this photo purchased at auction and you have taken this image from the internet from the auctioneer’s website – did you have permission as the image from their site is also copyright?
