A vintage promotional nativity from the Czech Republic
(49045 views)
Can you spot the "product placement"—chicory coffee and brandy—in this vintage Czech promotional nativity?
Brandyská Cikorka A Zitná Káva Company Nativity.
Unknown artist; original size 12.5 x 9 inches (32 x 23 cm); published circa 1930s; published also by Cikorka a zitná káva Hradecká company, but with different "gifts."
I just downloaded this last night, so I have a few hours of cutting and putting this together. It will surely be a conversation piece on my mantel this year!
And not Brandy (drink) but Brandýs (town in the Central Bohemian region in the Czech republic)!
The whole advertising is on coffee substitutes (chicory and rye coffee) made in a factory in Brandýs upon Labe/Elbe).
