EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a one hundred mark banknote from 1910. Measuring at 10x20.5 cm, this colour lithograph captures both the recto and verso of the banknote with exquisite detail. The design of the banknote is a true testament to German craftsmanship, featuring an array of symbolic elements that reflect Germany's rich heritage and thriving trade industry. On one side, we see a majestic harbour scene with ships sailing gracefully in the background, symbolizing Germany's prowess in maritime commerce. The female figure depicted on the note represents Minerva or Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, emphasizing Germany's intellectual and military strength. She holds an armour shield adorned with an eagle - a powerful symbol of German pride and nationalism. Intriguingly, there are also references to finance and currency present on this banknote. The presence of Mercury or Hermes holding his caduceus suggests financial transactions while anchoring stability in trade. Overall, this fascinating artwork not only serves as a visual representation of early 20th-century German currency but also offers insights into their cultural identity and economic significance during that period. It is truly a valuable addition to any private collection for its historical value alone.
