EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "History of Paper: 3, c1900" takes us on a journey through time, showcasing the evolution of paper and its significance in human civilization. The image features three distinct historical moments that shaped the course of paper's development. At the forefront is an ancient cityscape, believed to be Alexandria around 300 BC. This bustling metropolis was home to one of the most renowned libraries in history - The Library of Alexandria. It served as a beacon for scholars and intellectuals from all corners of the world, fostering knowledge exchange and paving the way for advancements in literature. Moving forward several centuries, we encounter a vibrant French advertisement from the 19th century promoting Liebig's extract of meat. This colorful trade card highlights how advertising played a crucial role even back then, enticing consumers with innovative products like tinned food. Finally, we are introduced to Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig himself – a prominent figure in both scientific and culinary realms during his time. Known for his groundbreaking research on organic chemistry and inventing meat extract (a precursor to today's bouillon cubes), Liebig revolutionized food preservation techniques while contributing significantly to our understanding of nutrition. Through this thought-provoking composition by an unknown creator, we witness not only the progression of paper but also glimpse into various aspects that have shaped society – education, commerce, arts, and scientific discovery. It serves as a reminder that every piece of paper holds within it fragments from our collective pasts;
