2. Movement by Hot Air


In the 19th century Stove Pictures were a speciality of German publishers: rising warm air turns a propeller. In Schreiber's "Hafenbild" ("Harbour Picture") the propeller is the supporter/vehicle of the motive at the same time. In Engel's "Zirkus" ("Circus") the motives are fixed on a bushing - separated from the propeller. In "Mutter Ente" ("Mother Duck") and "Jägersmann" ("Huntsman") the propeller moves a crankshaft with linkage. Modern designs are the dancing and flying Santa Clauses and Easter bunnies by the German Atelier GAG.
