"Tea and Coffee" is a notable illustration from "Les Fleurs Animées," an imaginative and satirical series of illustrations by French caricaturist J. J. Grandville, whose real name was Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard. Published in 1847, "Les Fleurs Animées" is a two-volume work that anthropomorphizes flowers, giving them human characteristics and often satirizing contemporary Parisian society. Grandville's illustrations are accompanied by text from Alphonse Karr, Taxile Delord, and the publisher Gabriel de Gonet, which provide a narrative and poetic commentary on the visual content.

In "Tea and Coffee," Grandville presents these two popular beverages as elegant female figures, embodying the characteristics and cultural connotations associated with them during the 19th century. The illustration reflects the growing popularity of tea and coffee as social drinks and their roles in various rituals and social settings. Tea, often associated with refinement and the upper classes, and coffee, linked to intellectual and bohemian circles, are depicted in a way that highlights their contrasting cultural significances.

Grandville's work is characterized by its intricate detail, imaginative compositions, and the blending of the natural and human worlds. "Les Fleurs Animées" was one of his last major works before his death in 1847, and it remains a significant example of early 19th-century French caricature and proto-Surrealist art. The series has been appreciated not only for its artistic value but also for its commentary on the social mores and customs of the time. "Tea and Coffee," as part of this collection, continues to be studied and admired for its artistic creativity and its reflection of the cultural milieu of Grandville's era.
