EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Persian postage stamps from 1897, beautifully rendered in vibrant colors through the technique of lithography. Created by an anonymous European School artist, these stamps were part of a series commissioned by Liebig as advertising trade cards for their popular meat extract product. During the late 19th century, Liebig's meat extract gained immense popularity and became a staple food item in European households. It was even extensively used during World War II due to its nutritional value. This unique collaboration between commerce and art resulted in stunning illustrations that captured the essence of Persia's rich cultural heritage. The image features a young girl dressed in traditional Persian attire, symbolizing the country's distinct customs and traditions. A majestic lion stands beside her, representing strength and power often associated with Persia. These elements come together to create an enchanting vintage card that not only served as promotional material but also acted as a means of communication through postage. Preserved within this private collection, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into Iran's past while celebrating the artistry involved in stamp design during the late 19th century. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it an invaluable piece for any art enthusiast or history lover alike.
