EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic St. Peter's Square in Rome, captured around the year 1900. The image was originally used as a French advertisement for Liebig's extract of meat, but its historical and architectural significance goes far beyond mere promotion. The photograph beautifully captures the grandeur of St. Peter's Square, with its magnificent obelisk standing tall against the backdrop of stunning buildings and structures. The Basilica di San Pietro dominates the scene with its impressive dome, symbolizing centuries of Christian history and Catholicism. The vibrant colors add depth to this snapshot in time, transporting viewers to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages traversed the streets surrounding Vatican City. It is an exquisite representation of both religious devotion and cultural heritage. Beyond its advertising purpose, this image serves as a testament to Rome's status as a timeless tourist attraction and pilgrimage site for millions worldwide. Moreover, it highlights how food products like tinned meat were marketed alongside significant landmarks during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded not only of Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig’s contributions but also of his collaboration with Siegfried Marcus in creating such memorable advertisements that have become part of our collective visual history.
