EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print, created anonymously in 1894, showcases the St. Petersburg Chemical Laboratory in all its fin de siècle glory. The image, now part of a private collection, is a stunning example of the Art Nouveau and Modern Style movements, with its sinuous lines, organic forms, and vibrant colors. The laboratory, bathed in a soft, ethereal light, is depicted as a temple of scientific progress and innovation. The laboratory's interior is filled with an array of glass beakers, test tubes, and intricate machinery, suggesting the latest in chemical research and development. The laboratory's exterior is adorned with ornate decorative motifs, reflecting the influence of the Wiener Secession and the Stile Liberty movements. The print's main focus, however, is on the laboratory's products, which include cosmetics and perfumes. The elegant packaging, with its intricate designs and bold typography, speaks to the importance of communication design in promoting these products to the modern consumer. The print's advertising of health and hygiene products, such as soap, further underscores the significance of these items in the fin de siècle world. The St. Petersburg Chemical Laboratory's chromolithograph print is a testament to the intersection of art and commerce during the late 19th century. Its modernist aesthetic and promotion of scientific progress and personal care continue to captivate viewers over a century later.
