Advertising poster, Café La Estrella. Cardboard. Spain, circa early 20th century. It has faults. Advertising poster for a well-known coffee brand, La Estrella, with a curious slogan referring to its aroma. La Estrella was founded in 1887 in Badajoz by José Gómez Tejedor, who obtained the patent for roasted coffee in Spain in 1901.

His technique of fixing the aroma during roasting transformed coffee consumption, as previously the aroma could not be preserved and coffee had to be roasted in the same place where it was consumed.

Pietà, devotional plaque. Bronze. Spanish School, 17th century, based on the model of Guglielmo DELLA PORTA. Oval-shaped devotional plaque made of bronze, featuring a ring at the top and a molded frame with an interior line of stripes surrounding a figurative religious scene. This depicts Mary holding the body of Christ after his death (Pietà), following a model attributed to Guglielmo della Porta (1515-1577). Compare this with the gilt bronze relief in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, attributed to Jacob Cornelis Cobaert, who was in turn inspired by a design linked to Guglielmo della Porta and believed to have been executed in Rome around 1569. This type of devotional plaque was very common in the Spanish school.
