réf. 267136London: Thomas Worlidge n.d. ca mid-18th century. Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 1 vols. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. A strong impression laid down light creases from prior folding small pin hole near engraved caption. Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 1 vols. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. Scarce trade card of James Ashley proprietor of the London Coffee House and Punch-House 1731-1776 who was "London's leading purveyor of Punch in the eighteenth century" Wondrich Punch p. 65 and "the world's first celebrity mixologist the first man to become famous for compounding and selling a mixed drink" ibid p. 172. Ashley a former cheese merchant opened his Punch-House in 1731 in Ludgatehill London. Extensive advertising in London papers as well as the distinct ornate pedestals surmounted by iron punch bowls which flanked its entrance made the London Punch-House one of the most well-known drinking establishments in the city. Clientele included Hogarth Boswell Oliver Goldsmith and Benjamin Franklin. A large sign outside of the Punch-House echoes the caption on this trade card "Pro bono publico. James Ashley in 1731 first reduced the price of punch raised its reputation and brought it into universal esteem." Ashley did indeed reduce the price of punch - from 8 shillings for punch made from a quart of arrack to 6 shillings - but his great innovation was to offer punch in smaller portions in servings as small as two ounces. These small servings made to order for the customer were the precursor to the modern cocktail. This trade card is engraved by Ashley's friend Thomas Worlidge 1700-1766 dubbed "the English Rembrandt" who also engraved portraits of Ashley's wife and one Mrs. Graywood the bar-keep at the London Punch-House.

Carbonated drinks were first introduced to Japan by Commodore Perry in 1853 when he served lemonade to Japanese officials. Western habits fashions and products were quickly adopted in many areas of life as Japan opened to the West. Soft drinks became popular after the various cholera outbreaks of the late nineteenth century as they were often marketed as safer than local water supplies. Many water companies and utilities began to manufacture soft drinks during the late nineteenth century. Yokohama was a particular centre for their production. The drinks were often sealed in 'crown-top' bottles as can be seen in the illustration. 'Cider' was the generic name given to an American soda style drink; carbonated usually fruit-flavoured; nothing to do with the European concept of apple based brewed cider. 'Citron' was the name given to a Japanese soda flavoured with lemon Citron became popular after 1909 and by 1919 Japanese soda style drinks were widely available. In 1865 torpedo style and marble stopper bottles began to be used for some drinks - which became known as 'Ramune' but are similar to 'Cider' and 'Citron'. By 1921 as mechanical production was widespread and there were over 2000 Japanese soft drink companies producing 'Cider' 'Ramune' and 'Citron'. Rare. A fascinating example of the influence of nineteenth century Western food and drink culture on Japanese consumers in the Meji and Showa Eras. § Apparently unrecorded.
