EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique blend of Hindu theatre and the majestic presence of elephants in c1900. The French advertisement for Liebigs extract of meat showcases an extraordinary spectacle that combines entertainment, culture, and sustenance. In this vibrant image, we see a group of performers skillfully balancing on the backs of these magnificent beasts of burden. Dressed in colorful costumes, they exude grace and elegance as they bring to life the rich traditions of Hinduism through their theatrical performance. The elephants themselves stand tall with regal poise, symbolizing strength and wisdom. The significance of this scene extends beyond mere entertainment; it also highlights the importance of food in Indian culture. Liebigs extract of meat is prominently displayed in the advertisement, emphasizing its role as a vital source of nourishment for both humans and animals alike. Behind every successful performance lies dedicated individuals known as mahouts who have mastered the artistry required to guide these gentle giants. Their occupation entails not only caring for these elephants but also ensuring their safety during such grand displays. This remarkable photograph transports us back to 19th century India, offering a glimpse into religious practices intertwined with daily life. It serves as a testament to Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's innovative product while celebrating the beauty and diversity found within different cultures around the world.
