Verkehrsmittel der Neuzeit – Neuestes Reisespiel (1913) | German Board Game Box Cover

File-size: 5440 x 8000 Pixel. 

This vibrant digital reproduction of Verkehrsmittel der Neuzeit / Neuestes Reisespiel (“Modern Means of Transportation / Newest Travel Game”) was originally created in 1913 by German artist Siegmund von Suchodolski.

Though it's a box cover and advertisement of a game, the artwork is strikingly similar to early travel posters, with its bold use of color and composition. It features a zeppelin airship soaring overhead, a steam locomotive powering across the landscape, and a luxurious open-top automobile zooming past the countryside—all set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and idyllic Alpine villages.
Note the small US flags on the car, even though the game is German. This could be for both political and/or sales reasons.

The image captures the excitement and optimism of an era fascinated with technological progress and the thrill of movement. Ideal for anyone who loves vintage design, early 20th-century aesthetics, or unique historical ephemera, this digital file makes for a lively and nostalgic wall print.

This digital file has been carefully edited to remove the outermost frame or border around the motif. This allows the artwork to fit more easily into different paper sizes when printed, ensuring that the composition remains balanced and undistorted. By making this adjustment, you can print the image in various formats without worrying about the original proportions being compromised.
