About this work

Description

One of a series of cards (sent in sets of 6 in exchange for coupons from jars of Liebig's 'Fleisch-Extract' or Extractum Carnis Liebig). This one describes the belief that illness was caused by bad spirits and curing that consisted in chasing out these spirits. It shows a group of people letting off fireworks, crashing cymbals, raising poles with garlands of flowers and carrying poles with 3 lighted candles on them. Liebig cards appeared in various languages.
