Above is rare picture of a shop window, somewhere in Italy, taken in the 50s. What you see is a display of the chocolate and cocoa products of the Dutch firm Van Houten. The arrow points to a framed poster of Laurel and Hardy with Van Houten cocoa cups (right upper corner). MGM-star Raquel Torres in the upper left corner looks like she wants a sip as well. Van Houten was well known for its trade cards and albums, picturing movie stars from America and Germany.
