EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hygienic Ballad (Hygienische Ballade), created by Moritz Jung in 1911, is a fascinating snapshot of early 20th-century Austria. This colourful lithograph captures the essence of German humour and satire during that time period. The artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the unique graphic design style of Nikolaus Burger and Simon Molzlagl. In this comical image, we see men and women engaging in peculiar hygiene practices. The cartoon-like characters depict a range of strange behaviors related to health and cleanliness. From spitting into spittoons to unusual methods of dental care, every aspect highlights the concept of hygiene in an amusing way. Jung's lithography skills shine through as he brings these humorous scenes to life with vibrant colours and intricate details. His clever use of visual storytelling allows viewers to immerse themselves in this quirky world where people take their hygiene routines to bizarre extremes. This print serves as a reminder that even though times have changed, our fascination with health and wellness has always been present throughout history. It also offers us a glimpse into the cultural norms and values surrounding hygiene in early 20th-century Austria. As we admire this intriguing piece from Moritz Jung's collection, it sparks curiosity about how perceptions around hygiene have evolved over time while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously when it comes to matters of cleanliness.
