EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling trading post in Africa during the late 19th century. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and exotic elements, showcasing the impact of European colonialism on the African continent. In this French advertisement for Liebigs extract of meat, we see barrels and cargo being unloaded from a riverboat, symbolizing the thriving commerce between Europe and Africa. Amidst the hustle and bustle, a group of men dressed in uniforms can be seen engaging in trade activities. These men represent both sides of this exchange - Europeans seeking to profit from Africa's resources and Africans participating in this new economic system. The towering palm trees and lush tropical vegetation serve as a reminder of Africa's rich natural beauty. The presence of tinned food emphasizes how European products were introduced into African markets during this time period. This particular advertisement showcases Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's contribution to the food industry with his extract of meat product. While it is important to acknowledge that this image reflects an era marked by imperialism and exploitation, it also provides us with valuable insight into historical trade practices between continents. It serves as a visual testament to the complex dynamics that shaped global commerce at the turn of the 20th century.
