EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing two literary giants of the 18th and 19th century - Voltaire and Victor Hugo. The French poets are depicted in this advertisement for Liebig, an extract of meat company from c1900. In this colorful portrait, both men exude an air of intellectual prowess and creative brilliance. Voltaire, known by his birth name François-Marie Arouet, was a renowned writer and philosopher whose works challenged societal norms during the Enlightenment period. Victor Hugo, on the other hand, was a prolific author who penned masterpieces such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" leaving an indelible mark on French literature. While their professions lie within the realm of writing, this image highlights another aspect of their lives - their love for food. The advertisement emphasizes Liebig's tinned meat products as it cleverly incorporates these esteemed figures into its promotional campaign. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of the immense talent possessed by Voltaire and Victor Hugo but also how even great minds appreciate good sustenance. This photograph serves as a testament to their enduring legacies as well as an intriguing glimpse into early advertising techniques that sought to connect with consumers through famous personalities like these literary icons.
