EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Danish and Icelandic postage stamps from 1897, featuring an endearing image of an Inuit child and his faithful dog. The colour lithograph, created by the European School, is part of a series produced by Liebig as promotional trade cards for their popular meat extract. The young Inuit child stands proudly beside his loyal canine companion, both exuding a sense of innocence and charm. The vibrant hues bring life to the scene, enhancing the playful nature captured in this vintage card. These stamps were not only intended for postal use but also served as humorous advertisements for Liebig's meat extract. This product became a staple food in European households during the late 19th century and was widely utilized during World War II. As we admire this delightful image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within history. It reminds us of the cultural diversity found across Europe and its fascination with distant lands such as Iceland and Denmark. This unique piece from Bridgeman Images offers more than just aesthetic appeal; it serves as a window into past advertising techniques while celebrating the beauty of childhood companionship between humans and animals.
