"Geb. 1930 [12] ad: A Glimpse into the Past: The Gebr. Th. Gebhardt & Co. Advertisement from 1930 This image is a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the Gebr. Th. Gebhardt & Co. advertisement from 1930. The ad, featuring the iconic Egyptian deity Geb, was published in a magazine or newspaper during that era. Geb, the ancient Egyptian god of the earth, is depicted in this advertisement with his characteristic seated position, his arms resting on his knees, and a small figure of a man standing before him. The Gebr. Th. Gebhardt & Co. was a renowned German chemical company that had been in operation since the late 19th century. They were known for their production of high-quality chemicals used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food processing. The company's advertisement in 1930 showcases their extensive product range, with a focus on their "Geb. 1930 [12]" line of products. The number "12" in the ad's title likely refers to the twelve months of the year, suggesting that these products were available year-round. The use of Geb as the central figure in the advertisement is an intriguing choice. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Geb was the god of the earth and the husband of the goddess Nut, who represented the sky. By associating their products with this powerful deity, the Gebr. Th. Gebhardt & Co. was likely conveying the idea that their chemicals were rooted in the earth and essential for the growth and prosperity of various industries. This fascinating advertisement is a testament to the marketing strategies of the past and provides valuable insights into the historical context of the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence our world today.
