Photograph of one of the floats in the German Art Parade in Munich, Germany, 7/16/1937

Lambert, Thomas F. · 1937

This is one of the photographs taken by Thomas F. Lambert, Jr. visiting many sights in Munich that were later destroyed like the Brown House and the Temple of Honor. The verso of the photograph has the following inscription: Munich, July 1937. This parade was to enact the evolution and development of German Art from the dawn of history to the present. It began with barbaric cave-dwellers with crude stone implements and primitive art efforts. It ended with the regiments of soldiers and guns. Any progress? Or just cycles of change.
