EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Killing The Hen That Lay The Golden Eggs" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a thought-provoking piece of European School art. This color lithograph, now part of a private collection, carries immense historical significance. Depicting a postcard from the early 20th century, this artwork cleverly symbolizes the consequences of greed and shortsightedness. It alludes to the age-old fable of killing the golden goose that provided endless wealth. In this context, it serves as biting satire towards Germany's pre-war economy. Amidst billowing smoke and surrounded by symbols representing trade, military might, commerce, and finance; we witness an individual holding a pipe with one hand while ruthlessly ending the life of this precious hen with another. This image stands as a stark reminder that such actions can lead to disastrous outcomes. With World War I looming on the horizon during its creation in 1913-1914, this print captures not only Germany's role but also reflects broader European tensions at that time. Its portrayal of German culture and society adds depth to our understanding of Northern Germany's history within Europe. As we gaze upon this evocative image today through Bridgeman Images' lens into history, let us reflect on how lessons from past mistakes can shape our present choices. May it serve as a poignant reminder for generations to come about the perils of sacrificing long-term prosperity for short-lived gains - an enduring message transc
