Super Power c. 1929

Otto August Kühler's "Super Power" (c. 1929) is a striking etching that captures the industrial power of a steam locomotive crossing a bridge. The detailed composition emphasizes the machine's imposing size and strength, as smoke billows from its chimney. Kühler’s mastery of light and shadow enhances the sense of motion and the imposing presence of the train. The scene evokes a sense of awe and wonder at the technological advancements of the early 20th century.
