EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage cartoon print by Austrian artist Leopold Zechmayer, created in 1805 and dating back to the mid-19th century, is a thought-provoking piece that still resonates today. Titled "Living To Eat" it depicts a powerful message about the dangers of excessive consumption. In this satirical illustration, Zechmayer cleverly portrays how our obsession with food can be more detrimental than war itself. The image showcases various culinary delights such as lobster, chicken, meat, and pig alongside human bodies. It symbolizes how our overindulgence in rich foods can lead to physical harm. The centerpiece of the artwork is the Strassburger Pastete or Strasbourg Pie, a delicacy known for its extravagant ingredients like foie gras from Strasbourg. Surrounding it are utensils like spoons and forks alongside a sable sword – representing both pleasure and potential danger. Zechmayer's illustrative technique captures attention with intricate details and historical charm. This engraved image not only reflects cultural practices but also serves as a commentary on societal values during that era. As we reflect on this historic art piece from the Liszt Gourmet Archive collection housed at Arkheia, we are reminded of the timeless truth behind Zechmayer's message: eating too much can have dire consequences for our health. This print urges us to reconsider our relationship with food and strive for balance in an age where excess often reigns supreme.
