EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Swedish postage stamps from 1897, beautifully rendered in vibrant colors through the technique of lithography. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this artwork is now part of a private collection. These stamps were originally produced as promotional trade cards for Liebig, a renowned manufacturer of meat extract based in Uruguay. By the late 19th century, Liebig's product had become a staple food in European households and gained even more popularity during World War II. The series of stamp illustrations served as an advertisement for their brand. In this particular image, we see a delightful wintry scene featuring traditional Swedish elements. A young girl dressed in traditional attire sits proudly on a sleigh adorned with reindeer antlers. The snowy landscape adds to the charm and evokes feelings of nostalgia. The vintage card exudes both elegance and playfulness, capturing the essence of Sweden's cultural heritage while promoting Liebig's products. This unique fusion makes it not only an intriguing historical artifact but also an artistic representation that transcends time. Brought to you by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and significance behind these early 20th-century promotional pieces while offering us glimpses into past traditions and advertising techniques.
