{"product_id":"r-rahl-auf-der-hohe","title":"R. Rahl: Auf der Höhe – Viennese Art Postcard – Porcelain Art Mug","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuf der Höhe\u003c\/em\u003e — \"At the summit\" — shows a woman mountaineer standing on a dome of snow, one hand on her alpenstock, a red cap and a red scarf against the wind, the ranges lying far below. She is dressed for climbing, not for looking at mountains: a belted jacket and knickerbockers, wool stockings, nailed boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sheet is a Viennese art postcard, published by the Eckhart Verlag at Fuhrmanngasse 18 in the Josefstadt, Vienna's eighth district, as number 1563. It is signed \u003cem\u003eR. Rahl\u003c\/em\u003e at lower left and titled in Fraktur at lower right. Cards like it were the small change of Viennese graphic art before the First World War: watercolours reproduced in colour and sold by the sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat the picture records, besides a view, is a change in dress. On the mountain the skirt had given way to the knickerbocker suit — practical, and still contentious enough to be worth drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the mug the paper ground has been taken out. Sky and snow are the white of the porcelain; only the figure, the blue shadow of the slope and the distant ranges remain. The original card is in the collection of Dr. Walther Fuchs, Küsnacht.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine Porcelain — 10 oz.
