Ty-Phoo was a British tea brand, and this advertisement shows a girl riding a bicycle, a figure that appeared often in early twentieth-century posters. Bicycles were a symbol of independence and modern leisure, and advertisers used them to link a everyday product like tea with fresh, active lifestyles. Tea is an unexpected neighbor for wine and spirits on this board, but it reflects how much of Britain's commercial imagery was built around the home kitchen and the daily cup rather than the pub or the cellar.
