Deux manières; une reclame allemande
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Two ways; a German advertisement), created in 1916, is an intriguing lithograph print that captures the essence of the First World War era and the emerging field of aviation. The image, part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," presents a thought-provoking juxtaposition of industrial might and natural beauty. The central focus of the composition is an aircraft, likely a biplane, soaring above the Parisian skyline. Its sleek design and modernity contrast starkly with the traditional lattice tower of the Eiffel Tower, a symbol of France's rich cultural heritage. The Seine River below, winding its way through the city, adds to the sense of location and geography. The title "Deux manières; une reclame allemande" suggests that this print may have been used to highlight the German threat during the First World War, with the aircraft representing the enemy's advanced air capabilities. However, the image itself does not explicitly convey any overtly hostile or aggressive undertones. Instead, it presents a visual dialogue between the old and the new, the familiar and the foreign, and the beauty and the power of industrial progress. The black and white (bw) or white and black (bw) format of the print adds to its timeless quality, transporting us back to a bygone era. The print's unknown origin only adds to its allure, making it a captivating addition to any collection focused on the history of the First World War, aviation, or industrial development. In summary, "Deux manières; une reclame allemande" is a striking and evocative lithograph print that showcases the contrasting elements of the First World War era, from the beauty of Paris to the emerging power of aviation technology. Its unknown origin only adds to its mystery and historical significance.
