Horses, not machines, dominate this 1935 Polish poster for the Muzeum przemysłu i techniki, or Museum of Industry and Technology, which makes the choice of subject stand out. The color lithograph was printed in Warsaw by the Academy of Fine Arts, and its large format (about 71 by 50 centimeters) suggests it was meant for street display. Horses were still central to farming, haulage, and city life in interwar Poland, even as industry expanded, so the image links the museum's modern theme to a working past that many viewers would have known firsthand.
