EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a collection of Greek postage stamps from 1897. The colour lithograph, created by the European School, is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of that era. These stamps were part of a series of illustrations produced by Liebig as promotional trade cards for their popular meat extract product. As Liebig's meat extract gained popularity in European homes during the late 19th century, it became an essential food item even during World War II. The image depicts a young Greek girl wearing traditional attire, including a winged hat and petasos dress. She stands against the backdrop of Athens' iconic Acropolis, with Mercury's cap symbolizing communication and commerce prominently featured on one stamp. This vintage card serves as both an advertisement and a historical artifact, offering us glimpses into Greece's rich cultural heritage. It captures the essence of Hellenic tradition while promoting Liebig's products to European consumers. Brought to life through this exquisite print by Bridgeman Images, these Greek postage stamps transport us back in time to experience the beauty and significance they held over a century ago. A true collector's item for history enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates fine art with historical context.
