Benz Patent Motorcar "Bertha Benz on her way to the pharmacy"
The 1886 Benz Patent-Motorcar in large presentation box with old town paving printed on the base and four-color printing on the rear wall. The figure beside the vehicle represents Bertha Benz who bought a bottle of petroleum in the pharmacy for the car. On the right side of this scene stands an advertising pillar with contemporary advertising posters stands. The diorama is packed in the Busch outer carton. (Note: Bertha Benz was the wife of Carl Benz, who is generally considered the father of the modern automobile. Mrs. Benz was a tireless promoter of her husband’s invention and would often drive the Benz car for publicity.) |
