Liebig's Sammelbilder

Liebig's Sammelbilder are collectible trading cards that were produced by the Liebig Extract of Meat Company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were included as free giveaways in packages of Liebig's meat extract and depicted a wide range of subjects.

Justus von Liebig was a German chemist who founded the Liebig Extract of Meat Company. He developed a method of extracting and condensing meat into a portable form, known as meat extract, which was then sold commercially.

Liebig's Sammelbilder were included as a marketing strategy to promote the sales of their meat extract products. By providing collectible trading cards, Liebig hoped to encourage customer loyalty and repeat purchases.

Liebig's Sammelbilder featured a wide range of subjects, including famous artwork, historical events, cultural scenes, animals, plants, and notable individuals. The cards often contained educational and informative content related to the depicted subject.

Liebig produced hundreds of different series of Sammelbilder over the years. Each series typically consisted of several dozen cards that could be collected and organized into thematic albums.
