Vintage - An Unfortunate Accident,

Vintage artwork by Arthur Thiele depicts an unfortunate scene where a young lady has crashed her car into a tree and totalled her car. She lies on the ground looking confused and in shock while her teddy bear that was in the car sits unharmed and upright on the side of the road. The German artist, Carl Robert Arthur Thiele (1860-1936) commonly went by the name Arthur Thiele. He was an illustrator of books, sheet music and postcards. He was famous for his comical anthropomorphic animals dressed in clothing and depicted in human-like scenes. Dachshunds were a favourite subject of his. In addition to animals, other subjects he illustrated were sports postcards, vegetables brought to life, snowmen, bathing beauties, and WW1 era propaganda postcards. The Internet is full of references confusing Carl Robert Arthur Thiele with another German painter of his time named Julius Arthur Thiele who painted landscapes. They are not the same artist.
