EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Osnabruck under the Green Lens: A City Gradually Losing its Face," was the cover illustration for a pamphlet published by the environmental protest group Arbeitsgemeinschaft Okomenta in circa 1980. The illustration depicts the historic Town Hall of Osnabruck, Germany, magnified through a magnifying glass, revealing a desolate and barren landscape beneath. The use of the magnifying glass as a symbol of scrutiny and awareness is a powerful metaphor for the group's mission to draw attention to the environmental degradation of their city. The title of the pamphlet underscores the idea that the beauty and character of Osnabruck are being gradually erased, and that urgent action is needed to prevent further damage. The image is a poignant reminder of the environmental concerns that were prevalent in the 1980s and continues to resonate with us today as we grapple with the consequences of human activity on the natural world. This illustration is an important historical document of the environmental movement in Germany and serves as a call to action for future generations to protect and preserve the natural heritage of their communities.
