The Crowning of Catherine II, Empress of Russia in 1762
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the grandeur and significance of a momentous event in Russian history - the crowning of Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great. The image, dating back to around 1900, showcases a French advertisement for Liebig's extract of meat that cleverly incorporates this iconic royal occasion. The scene unfolds with vibrant colors and intricate details, transporting us to the lavish coronation ceremony held during the 18th century. In the center stands Empress Catherine II herself, radiating regal elegance as she is crowned with a majestic crown. Surrounded by an array of women dressed in opulent attire, this portrait epitomizes power and grace. Beyond its artistic value lies an interesting juxtaposition between royalty and food. The inclusion of Liebig's extract of meat subtly alludes to nourishment fit for a queen – tinned food that can be enjoyed even by those who aspire to taste luxury from afar. While we admire this stunning portrayal capturing both historical significance and commercial ingenuity, it is important to acknowledge the creators behind it: Unknown (photographer), Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig (the founder of Liebig's extract), and Catherine II herself – an influential figure whose reign transformed Russia into one of Europe's most powerful nations. This remarkable print serves as a testament not only to artistry but also to how advertising can seamlessly intertwine with historical events, leaving
