EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print depicts the city of Danzig, beautifully capturing its architectural charm and scenic river views. Created by a German School in the 20th century, this lithographic masterpiece celebrates the unique date of 12.12.12. The significance of this particular date lies in its numerical coincidence - when written in abbreviated form, all three digits are identical: 12 12 12. Such an occurrence last happened on November 11th, 2011, just over a year ago, and will not repeat until January 1st, 3001 - a wait of nearly a millennium. Transportation plays a prominent role within the artwork as boats gracefully glide along the river Motlawa. This mode of transport symbolizes movement and connection between different parts of Danzig's vibrant community. The postcard serves as both commemoration and celebration; it captures the festive spirit that surrounds such auspicious dates while also paying homage to Danzig's rich history and architecture. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to December 1912 when people celebrated with joyous parties and festivities across Europe. The image evokes nostalgia for an era long gone but immortalized through ephemera like postcards. Let us cherish this remarkable artwork that encapsulates both timelessness and transience – reminding us to celebrate life's fleeting moments while appreciating their rarity.
