Victorian Liebig Fleischbrüh Würfel Trade Card Confucius VI Artwork

This Victorian-era trade card features a vibrant chromolithograph depicting "Konfuzius VI - Die geheimnisvolle Begegnung," part of a series illustrating Confucius, created to advertise Liebig Fleischbrüh-Würfel, a concentrated beef extract product. The detailed scene shows a desert caravan with figures in traditional robes, a ram-drawn cart, and a camel, rendered with vivid colors and fine shading typical of late 19th to early 20th-century trade cards. The card measures approximately 3.5 x 2.5 inches, printed using lithographic techniques that highlight the rich hues and intricate line work. The front includes German text promoting Liebig Fleischbrüh-Würfel as containing genuine Liebig meat extract, while the reverse provides an explanatory narrative about Confucius' journeys and the utility of Liebig's concentrated meat products in modern kitchens.
