"Capturing the Essence of Runabout: A Glimpse into the Roaring 20s and Beyond" Step back in time to the 1920s-1930s with "Alighting from the Carriage, " an exquisite etching and aquatint that beautifully depicts a moment of elegance and sophistication. The image transports us to an era when runabouts were not just vehicles, but symbols of status and luxury. Citroen, known for its innovative designs, is showcased in a vibrant lithograph. This artwork captures the spirit of adventure as it portrays a sleek Citroen runabout speeding through picturesque landscapes. It reminds us that these cars were more than just modes of transportation; they represented freedom and exploration. In "Woman in a Car with Two Pekinese, " we witness another facet of runabouts - their ability to accommodate our furry companions. This charming etching and aquatint showcases a woman enjoying her ride accompanied by two adorable Pekinese dogs, highlighting how runabouts provided comfort not only for humans but also for our beloved pets. The Kuppenheimer Good Clothes advertisement from 1926 takes us on a journey through fashion history while featuring an elegant couple stepping out of their stylish runabout. It serves as a reminder that these vehicles were not only about getting from point A to B but also making a statement with impeccable style. Transportation advertisements played an essential role during this period, such as the colorful lithograph promoting Fiat 509. This poster captures attention with its bold design while showcasing the allure and modernity associated with owning such automobiles. Michelin's advertising poster from around 1925 invites viewers to explore new horizons by emphasizing reliability through its iconic tire brand. Runabouts enabled people to venture further than ever before, opening up possibilities for travel and discovery. Artistic expressions like "After the Ball" depict scenes where runabouts served as backdrops for social gatherings or romantic encounters.
