EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the various systems of railroads in Zermatt, Switzerland, circa 1900. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this advertisement for Liebig Extract of Meat to life. Set against a picturesque landscape with majestic mountains and a rushing river, the image captures the essence of rural life in Valais. In the foreground, a hardworking man is seen outside a railway carriage, immersed in his job as he wields a sledgehammer. His rugged appearance reflects the rustic nature of his profession. Surrounding him are other men engaged in their respective occupations, emphasizing the bustling activity that accompanies transportation and railway work. The steam train billowing smoke adds an element of movement and excitement to the scene while symbolizing progress and modernity. The compartment filled with tools hints at the meticulousness required to maintain these intricate railroad systems. Through this chromolithograph artwork by Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig and Siegfried Marcus, we get a glimpse into early 20th-century France's advertising industry. This piece serves as both an advertisement for Liebig Extract of Meat and as an artistic representation of Swiss geography. With its rich history and cultural significance, this print offers viewers not only visual delight but also insight into transportation advancements during that era. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our ongoing quest for efficient means of travel amidst breathtaking natural landscapes like Zermatt's mountainous terrain.
