EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of two influential Scandinavian literary figures, Hans Christian Andersen and Henrik Ibsen, around the turn of the 20th century. The image is part of a French advertisement for Liebig's extract of meat, showcasing these esteemed poets in an unexpected context. In this portrait, both men exude an air of intellectual prowess and creative genius. Hans Christian Andersen, renowned for his fairy tales that have enchanted generations worldwide, stands tall with his signature beard and piercing gaze. Meanwhile, Henrik Ibsen, celebrated playwright known for his realistic dramas tackling social issues, emanates a sense of introspection and depth. The vibrant colors bring life to their portraits against a backdrop that hints at their Danish and Norwegian origins. This juxtaposition between literature and tinned food advertising adds intrigue to the photograph as it blurs the lines between artistry and commerce. As we delve into this snapshot from history captured by an unknown creator alongside Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig himself – a pioneer in organic chemistry – we are reminded not only of these literary giants' contributions but also how they were intertwined with society's evolving tastes and consumption patterns. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left by Anderson and Ibsen while shedding light on the commercial landscape that surrounded them during their time.
