1914 Automobile Equestrian Outdoor Sculpture Statue Herr

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1914, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of innovation and change. The image showcases an early cartoon drawing that humorously depicts the transition from traditional transportation to modern automobiles. Standing proudly in the center is a statue of a distinguished general on horseback, symbolizing the old ways of travel. However, it seems that times are changing as suggested by "The Herr General" himself - he believes that the equestrian statue has become outdated. In his forward-thinking mindset, he proposes replacing it with an automobile instead. This whimsical concept reflects the rapid advancements in technology during this era. The outdoor scene captured in this engraving portrays men gathered around, discussing and admiring this revolutionary idea. It offers us a glimpse into German society at that time and their eagerness for progress. This historical artwork belongs to The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, which preserves significant moments from our past. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance as it represents a pivotal period when transportation was undergoing a transformative shift.
