EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Zollvisitation II" captures a scene from the mid-late 19th century, beautifully depicted by artist Carl Spitzweg. In this black and white drawing, we witness a traveller undergoing customs inspection as his trunk is thoroughly examined. The artwork is part of the collection "Die gute alte Zeit: Zeichnungen von Karl Spitzweg" (The Good Old Days: drawings by Karl Spitzweg), published in c1924 by Benjamin Harz in Berlin-Vienna. Spitzweg's meticulous pencil sketch transports us back to an era where borders were closely monitored and travel was not as seamless as it is today. The attention to detail in the luggage, clothing, and facial expressions of the characters adds depth to this snapshot of history. This monochrome image invites us to contemplate the challenges faced by individuals navigating different countries during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of global mobility and ease of travel. As we observe this man's encounter with customs officials, we are reminded that even though times may change, certain aspects remain constant throughout history. This artwork allows us to reflect on our own experiences with border crossings while appreciating the skillful artistry of Carl Spitzweg.
