Cover Illustration: Antonio de Pereda, Still Life with an Ebony Chest (1652). In the sixteenth century, Europeans discovered the pleasures of drinking chocolate as a result of their conquests in Mesoamerica. In "Tasting Empire: Chocolate and the European Internalization of Mesoamerican Aesthetics," Marcy Norton offers a new account of Europeans' acquisition of a taste for chocolate, demonstrating that they did not modify it to suit their palates, but rather learned to like the same fragrant, spicy, sweet, frothy form of the beverage that was consumed by indigenous Americans. This masterpiece depicts a variety of items used in the preparation and consumption of chocolate. Oil on canvas, 80 x 94 cm. Collection of William Coesvelt, Britain, 1815. Reproduced courtesy of the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.
