EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Menu with a scene from Othello and an advertisement for Liebigs Extract of Meat" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of theatre and advertising. The menu features a vivid depiction of a bedroom scene from William Shakespeare's renowned play, Othello, showcasing the intense emotions between Othello and his wife, Desdemona. Amidst this theatrical setting, tucked away in the bottom left-hand corner, lies an intriguing advertisement for Liebigs Extract of Meat. This unexpected juxtaposition adds an element of surprise to the composition. It reminds us that even in moments of artistic expression and storytelling, commercial interests find their way into our lives. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring this historical piece to life. Printed on menus as ephemera during that era, it serves as a reminder that advertisements have always been part of our daily experiences. They shape our choices and influence our perceptions without us even realizing it. As we delve deeper into this image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, we are transported back in time—a time when plays were performed live on stage amidst grandeur sets while advertisements subtly made their presence felt. It is through such prints that we can appreciate both artistry and commerce intertwining seamlessly within society throughout history.
