EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and historically significant banknote from 1918. Measuring at 9x14 cm, the twenty mark banknote is beautifully depicted in full color lithography, capturing both its recto and verso sides. The artwork, created by the German School of the 20th century, is now part of a private collection. The image portrays an array of symbolic elements that reflect Germany's financial landscape during that era. On one side, we see an armored knight with a winged helmet and spear, representing strength and protection. A female figure wearing a crown symbolizes abundance and prosperity while holding an ear of wheat as Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. On the other side of the banknote, Mercury's head appears alongside an eagle - symbols associated with commerce and finance. These motifs highlight Germany's economic prowess at the time. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate not only the artistic merit but also gain insight into Germany's currency history. It serves as a reminder of how money can be seen as both a practical tool for exchange and as an expression of national identity.
