A child waiter balancing a tray of Cadbury's Cocoa is the detail that gives this advertisement its character, since the figure is the focus rather than the product alone. Cadbury's cocoa was a staple of British households by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and advertisers of the period often used cheerful children, servants and domestic scenes to suggest comfort, good manners and wholesome family life. Images like this one show how brands tried to tie a simple drink to everyday respectability. Look closely at the tray, the uniform and the careful pose to see how much story the designer packed into a small space.
