Standing against a lunar landscape with the rising sun, this trade card from Liebig extract of meat series on astronomers transports us to another world. Schiaparelli's contributions to astronomy were groundbreaking. He is best known for his observations of Mars, where he famously identified "canali" or channels on its surface.

This collectible piece not only celebrates Schiaparelli's scientific achievements but also highlights Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's role in producing these educational cards. By combining artistry with science, Liebig sought to disseminate knowledge to a wider audience during an era when access to information was limited. Overall, this print encapsulates both the spirit of discovery embodied by Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli and the collaborative efforts that brought scientific education into everyday life at the turn of the 20th century.
