EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring "Temple of chocolate" created by Stollwerck at the Chicago World Fair in 1893. Standing tall at a height of 12 meters, this magnificent sculpture was crafted entirely from an astonishing 30,000 pounds of chocolate. The French School's chromolitho artwork beautifully showcases this extraordinary feat. The trade card, dating back to the late 19th century, highlights the significance and popularity of this unique creation. It served as an advertisement for Stollwerck's delectable chocolates and confections during that time. Visitors to the fair were undoubtedly drawn to this grand spectacle, which stood as one of the main attractions. Its towering presence and intricate design made it a true marvel to behold. This postcard-like image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the wonderment experienced by those who attended. The Temple of Chocolate not only showcased Stollwerck's mastery but also symbolized Germany's rich culinary heritage. As a German company with strong European roots, Stollwerck represented both tradition and innovation in its production of fine chocolates. Today, this historic photograph serves as a reminder of how artistry can be found even within edible creations. It invites us to appreciate not only the taste but also the visual beauty that can be achieved through food craftsmanship.
