| Relief with Telegraph Wire |

Taken in the Deutches Technikmuseum Berlin.
The placard reads:
Allegorical Depiction of Telegraphy on the Gate to the Potsdam Vineyards, 1850. Plaster cast; original: terracotta
After the Baden revolt had been quelled successfully in June 1849 by the Prussian 'Kartätschenprinz' (case shot prince) William, the gate to the Potsdam vineyards was designed as a triumphal gate. The reliefs represent the fine arts, the traditional virtues, military scenes, and modern technology, the latter probably for the first time in such a context. The railway as well as electric telegraphy are acknowledged by means of contemporary art.
