"German War Loans" 1917, Cast Iron, 67mm, 45.6g. Ernsting-WVZ 160a, Unique in Iron This satirical piece displays Gies' contempt with the amount of money Germany was spending for their involvement in WWI. Large bags full of millions in gold Marks dwarf the workers and are hauled, lifted, and weighed via manual labor by the common man. The German eagle sits pervertedly proud atop the scales. A Wonderful early expressionistic piece. Keywords: Ludwig Gies

"German War Loans"

1917, Cast Iron, 67mm, 45.6g. Ernsting-WVZ 160a, Unique in Iron

This satirical piece displays Gies' contempt with the amount of money Germany was spending for their involvement in WWI. Large bags full of millions in gold Marks dwarf the workers and are hauled, lifted, and weighed via manual labor by the common man. The German eagle sits pervertedly proud atop the scales.

A Wonderful early expressionistic piece.
