EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Viennese postcard captures the playful spirit of children pretending to ski during the late 19th to early 20th century. The black and white lithograph showcases a group of boys engaging in imaginative winter sports on an ironing board, cleverly transformed into skis. With their arms outstretched for balance and determination in their eyes, these young adventurers embody the essence of childhood creativity and imagination. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of cozy furniture, including comfortable chairs and piled-up comforters that serve as makeshift snowbanks. The humorous illustration evokes both laughter and admiration for these resourceful youngsters who find joy even within the confines of their home. Printed with meticulous detail, this postcard exemplifies commercial art and graphic design from Austria during that period. It is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship involved in offset lithographs, planographic prints, and transfer prints prevalent at the time. Now preserved in Lake County Museum's collection, this whimsical artwork by M. Munk or MM Vienne offers us a glimpse into Western European culture through its satirical lens. Beyond its historical significance lies a timeless message about embracing playfulness in our lives while showcasing how simple objects can transform ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures.
