EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Water, 1899" takes us back to the enchanting era of the late 19th century. This vibrant colour lithograph, created by an anonymous European School artist, is part of a series of illustrations commissioned by Liebig as promotional trade cards for their meat extract. In this particular artwork, we are transported to an oasis in the desert where a majestic waterfall cascades into a crystal-clear pool. A camel stands nearby, quenching its thirst from the refreshing water source. The scene exudes tranquility and serenity amidst the arid surroundings. During this time period, Liebig's meat extract or bouillon had become a staple food in European homes and was extensively used during World War II. This advertisement aimed to promote their product through visually stunning imagery that evoked a sense of refreshment and nourishment. The art nouveau style is evident in the intricate details of the landscape and flowing water. The Belle Époque influence adds an air of elegance to this promotional piece. This vintage card not only serves as a historical artifact but also captures our imagination with its depiction of nature's bounty and its ability to satiate our deepest desires for hydration. It reminds us of the importance of water as a life-giving resource while simultaneously showcasing artistic brilliance from Europe's past.
