Liebig S576 - Children in Insect Costumes #2

Liebig cards from Cigcardpix's photo stream.

Liebig cards are my new obsession. I am a vegetarian and I find it a little confusing that all this stunning art work has come from a beef extract product, but they are all just so beautiful. Ever since I found Cigcardpix's photostream I have spending way to long going through them all.

I'll probably do a couple more inspiration posts on them as I find them so inspiring and there are many different catagories.

I hope you enjoyed these winged creatures. I'll be bringing you a Jubilee related post next.
Hope you are all enjoying the celebrations.
Much love Kelly-Marie xx

  1. Dear Kelly-Marie, I'm completely over the moon with your found Liebig cards. I've never heard that there were such nice cards and particularly that there were collectible cards almost from 1872 on. I know that there were cigarette cards with photos from movie stars but I think they're from the 1930s and 1940s. I own a book with a collection of such cigarette cards. Maybe you wanna have a loook at them. You'll find them here:

  4. Once again, another beautiful blog post. Oh I love these images of winged creatures. Much of my day is spent watching birds. I am like Eleanor Kay, I have always believed in faeries, too. I can remember when it was time for the tooth fairy to visit me, I would make sure my bedroom was straightend up, I did't wait the faery to see my room in a mess. Thank you, Kelly-Marie, and also for your visit and special comment on my blog.

    1. Cindy you are so welcome, you are a very talented lady. I am in love with birds ( and fairys). We have a very overgrown garden and our kitchen over looks it. When I work from home I try to spend as much time watching the birds. I have been fascinated by them since I was a little girl. they make me so happy.
      That's such a lovely story about your bedroom. I don't think they would have minded a little mess. x

  6. I adore vintage cards. Even though butterflies absolutely terrify me (yes, true, I'm a disgrace but I hate them), I loved these!
