EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Introduction of the Goose Step" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Created by Arthur Moreland, this engraving captures a comical yet thought-provoking scene from his book "The History of the Hun". The image has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and humor within. In this illustration, we witness a group of sergeants attempting to teach an amusingly uncoordinated group of soldiers how to perform the infamous goose step. With its exaggerated movements and rigid precision, the goose step was often associated with authority and imperial power. Moreland's clever portrayal not only highlights the historical significance of this drill but also adds an entertaining twist. Through his unique blend of humor and satire, he sheds light on Germany's military culture during that era. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that Moreland's intention is not merely to amuse but also to provide insight into German history. By referencing figures such as Varus and Hermann from ancient Rome, he draws connections between past empires and Germany's role within Europe at that time. Overall, this print offers an engaging glimpse into both European history and human nature itself – reminding us that even in serious matters like war and authority, there is always room for laughter.
