EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beer, 1899" takes us back to the vibrant era of the late 19th century. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this colour lithograph captures a scene that is both nostalgic and intriguing. The image showcases a bustling brewery filled with workers diligently checking barrels of beer. The promotional trade card was originally produced for Liebig, a renowned meat extract company based in Uruguay. During this time, their product had become a staple in European households and even played a significant role during World War II. The art nouveau style depicted in this print adds an elegant touch to the overall composition. A couple can be seen seated at an inn, enjoying their refreshing drinks amidst the lively atmosphere of hops and brewing equipment. This illustration perfectly encapsulates the belle époque period when beer consumption was not only about nourishment but also symbolized relaxation and pleasure. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it's fascinating to observe how advertising has evolved over time.
