Thee 1894 - 1959

"Thee" is a colorful illustrated educational page created by Gordinne in 1894-1959, now held in the Rijksmuseum. The page depicts the journey of tea, from its cultivation in China to the family enjoying it in their home. With a magnifying glass lens effect, it visually narrates the process of harvesting, processing, shipping, and finally, the consumption of tea. The illustrative style is typical of educational children's books of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, using simple yet effective imagery to explain complex processes.
