8666241 Schaukel / Swing (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Schaukel. Die Schaukel, schon im Altertum bekannt, ist ein Versuch, den Wunschtraum der Menschheit, das Fliegen, zu verwirklichen. Aber wahrend sie lange nur auf das mit zwei Seilen am Gerust aufgehangte Schaukelbrett beschrankt blieb, gestaltete man spater dieses oft muschel- oder gondelformig um. Im spaten 19 Jahrh kamen dann die mechanisch bewegten amerikanischen Schaukeln auf. Translation: Swing. The swing, known since ancient times, is an attempt to realize mankind's dream of flying. But while for a long time it was limited to the rocking board suspended from the frame with two ropes, later this was often redesigned in the shape of a shell or gondola. In the late 19th century, the mechanically operated American swings came along.
