EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the intriguing world of Hippolyte Mege-Mouries, the visionary French inventor who revolutionized the dairy industry with the creation of margarine. The image, titled "Hippolyte Mege-Mouries, Inventor of Margarine, with Cig Card," showcases Mege-Mouries in his element, surrounded by the metallic wonders of his laboratory. The inventor, born in 1817, is depicted in a thoughtful pose, holding a cig card, possibly a patent model, in his hand. The circular container in the foreground, with its intricate vat design, hints at the innovative processes that led to the production of this alternative to butter. Mege-Mouries' groundbreaking invention, developed in 1880, was a game-changer for the culinary world and the economy. Margarine, derived from vegetable oils, offered a more affordable and accessible alternative to the expensive and perishable butter. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of Mege-Mouries, who, through his relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation, transformed the way people consumed and produced dairy products. The historical significance of this image extends beyond the realm of food production. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that individual inventors and their discoveries play in shaping the course of history. This photograph print is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a valuable piece of history that invites us to explore the fascinating story of Hippolyte Mege-Mouries and the world he brought to life with his invention of margarine.
