ABOUT THE ARTIST

Liebig’s trading cards began life as part of a marketing campaign for Liebig’s meat extract. Colorful and detailed illustrations of opera characters, exotic animals, and historical architecture were lithographically printed on coated cards by hand in vibrant technicolor, representing the finest examples of the Victorian master printer’s art. 

The Liebig Company is an English firm that started widely producing “meat extract” after Justus von Liebig created it. The meat extraction process created a concentrate and preservation of the essential nutrients and flavors of beef in the form of paste or bouillon cubes. The production of meat extract was started in 1850 and was named after its inventor.
