EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the opera "The African" by Giacomo Meyerbeer, featuring Vasco de Gama, the renowned Portuguese navigator. In this image, we see the character of Vasco de Gama portrayed on stage during a performance of the opera. The chromolithography technique used in this advertising image adds vibrant colors and depth to the portrayal. "The African" is an opera that was started in 1838 and completed in 1863, with its first representation taking place in 1865. It tells the story of Vasco de Gama's adventures and encounters as he navigates through Africa. Giacomo Meyerbeer, whose real name was Jakob Liebmann Beer, composed this grand masterpiece. This particular print is part of a series called Mens Alphabet Serie S0369 by Compagnie Liebig, which consists of twelve advertising images created using chromolithography. The Liebig brand itself was invented in 1865 by Justus von Liebig, a German chemist known for his contributions to agricultural chemistry. Captured by Jean Duvallon and now held within a private collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both historical events and artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that figures like Vasco de Gama have had on our collective imagination throughout history.
