inches, 111x71 cm. Teulings Grafische
Kunstinrichting, Amsterdam.
Condition B+ / B: repaired tears and restoration
at edges, some affecting image; abrasions and
restoration in margins and image; staining at edges.
From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution
pollution was not considered to be a societal evil
but rather a sign of progress and even prosperity.
This image, for an International Exhibition of
Trade and Industry, literally shows howMercury’s
Caduceus (symbol of commerce and trade) forms
within the conflux of the massive cloud of smoke
rising from all the factory chimneys. In 1925,
Charles Loupot used a similar theme of smoke
emitting from factory smokestacks to advertise
the Exposition International Art Décoratifs et
Industriels Modernes in Paris.
