EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created in 1907 by Moritz Jung, transports us back to the early 20th century Austrian variety acts that delighted audiences with their unique performances. The print showcases an extraordinary concept brought to life on stage - Maxi the Ichthyosaurus turned man. In this vibrant artwork, we witness a mesmerizing transformation as Maxi, once an ancient marine reptile known as an ichthyosaur, now stands before us as a human figure. The color lithograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this unusual metamorphosis. The German graphic designer Nikolaus Burger collaborates with Simon Molzlagl to create a visually striking composition.
