The title places the Holmes & Coutts sea foam wafers at the center of this lithograph, calling them "famous" in a way that signals the maker's confidence in the product. Sea foam, a light, airy confection, was a popular sweet in American shops in the nineteenth century, and printed advertising was a common way for candy makers to reach buyers. The caption card gives no date, so the production years remain uncertain. Its details are unverified, so the attribution and any dating should be treated as provisional.
