EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "History of Paper: 2, c1900" takes us back to Ancient Egypt, showcasing the remarkable process of making writing material using papyrus reed. The image vividly captures a man diligently working on transforming the stem of the reed into a form of paper. This versatile plant not only served as a means for recording history but also provided essential resources for various purposes. The French advertisement featured in this print promotes Liebigs extract of meat, adding an intriguing juxtaposition between ancient and modern times. Amidst the depiction of trade cards and furniture, this ad reminds us that even in the 19th century, people sought convenience through canned food. The chromolithograph technique used to create this print enhances its vibrant colors and brings life to every detail. It is evident that both artistry and historical accuracy were paramount in its creation. While we cannot mention any commercial use due to restrictions, it is important to acknowledge Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's contribution as one of the creators behind this fascinating piece. His collaboration with Siegfried Marcus resulted in an artwork that beautifully intertwines history, culture, and innovation. This print serves as a visual testament to humanity's continuous quest for progress while honoring our roots by immortalizing ancient practices such as papermaking from papyrus reeds.
