Dekorative Graphik - Ansichten – Gedruckt bei Mabille & Cie., Paris. - Farblithographie von Marguerite Montaut, einer der prägenden Illustratorinnen der Aviation vor dem ersten Weltkrieg, mit der Darstellung der Luftschiffe "Parcival" und "Gross" über der Silhouette Kölns mit dem Dom als identitätsstiftendem Bezugspunkt. Die Gegenüberstellung monumenaler Luftschiffe mit der kleinteilig verdichteten Staffage am Ufer zeigt sich die zeitgenössischen Erfahrung des technischen Umbruchs, der als öffentliches Spektakel wahrgenommen und medial verbreitet wurde. - Blatt altersbedingt leicht gebräunt, partiell mit blassen Flecken sowie einigen kleinen, punktuellen Braunflecken. Insgesamt sehr gut mit prachtvollem, kreidigen Druck, die Farbe frisch.
