EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Milk, 1899" takes us back to the idyllic countryside of the late 19th century. The image showcases a serene scene on a farm, where a mother and her child are surrounded by lush fields and grazing cows. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this color lithograph was part of a series produced for Liebig's meat extract promotional trade cards. During this time, Liebig's meat extract or bouillon had become a staple food in European households and was even extensively used during World War II. This particular artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural life and highlights the importance of milk as nourishment. The art nouveau style adds an elegant touch to the composition, emphasizing tenderness and maternal care. The peaceful atmosphere depicted in this vintage card evokes feelings of tranquility and simplicity that were cherished during that era. As we gaze at this stunning piece from our private collection, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance as both an advertisement for Liebig's product and as a representation of early 20th-century agricultural practices. It serves as a reminder of how farming played an essential role in providing sustenance for families across Europe. With its timeless charm, "Milk, 1899" continues to captivate viewers with its bucolic beauty while also offering insight into the cultural context surrounding food production during that period.
