on the cambells cans label is a gold figure who is this? paris?

Answer 1

It's the winged figure of Victory, holding a laurel wreath and a palm branch carrying a winner on her back [reverse - the side on the can].

Obverse: Head of "France" (Marianne?) in a Phrygian bonnet, being at one with the growing oak tree, which has put a laurel wreath around her head. A view of the bridges of Paris to the right.

Answer 2

Hi,

No, it's not Paris, but it does come from Paris. According to FoodReference.com, Campbell's Soup won a gold medal at the Paris Exposition in 1900. That medal has been on the label ever since.

Answer 3

The gold circle is the seal of the 1900 world's fair that took place in Paris France. The women in the middle of the seal. I believe, represents Liberte. Campbell soups won an award at that fair and it's been on their cans of soup ever since.

Answer 4

I don't know for sure, but it well could be Paris. According to the Campbell's Soup website, "The gold medallion that adorns the can was awarded for excellence at the Paris Exposition in 1900. "
