Description
In the late 19th century, society began to address infant and child mortality, previously accepted as a natural event. Better nutrition was sought to improve children’s lives. Baron von Liebig created from South American beef a rich paste and sold it as Liebig’s Soluble Food for Babies, a product equal to or better than a wet-nurse’s milk. Mother’s milk was never disputed as the best. The beef paste won prizes at Expos, which were beginning to be very popular around the world. This complex movable, a dissolving disc, changes the image from the cattle to the can with the pull of a string.
