This exquisite Victorian-era trade card from Liebig features a detailed artistic depiction of Orpheus in the Osiris Temple, showcasing an Egyptian temple scene with rich, warm tones and intricate hieroglyphic-style artwork. The card measures approximately 3.5 x 2.5 inches, typical of trade cards from the late 19th to early 20th century, printed with high-quality lithography that preserves the vivid colors and fine details. The front image portrays the mythical figure Orpheus alongside an imposing statue of Osiris, highlighted by the flickering flames of a ceremonial brazier, capturing a mystical and ancient atmosphere.
The reverse side contains German text explaining the mythological background of Orpheus and the Osiris cult, along with a promotion for Liebig Fleisch-Extrakt, a renowned meat extract product of that era. This piece is part of a collectible series by Liebig Gesellschaft, which was famous for producing collectible cards as advertising tools for their meat extracts.
