This framed piece of artwork measures 19in. X 8in. and depicts various occupational illustrations, believed to be by Jan Luyken. The inscription at the bottom, in both German and French, roughly translates to an anniversary gift from the firm of A. Benz & Cie. 

Benz & Cie is Carl Benz's (yes, that 'Benz') company, based out of Mannheim, Germany. According to Wikipedia, Benz & Cie. was the world's first automobile plant and largest of its day. In 1926, it merged with Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft to form Daimler-Benz, which produces the Mercedes-Benz (among other brands) today. This tidbit makes this piece of artwork very unique and guarantees it to be a showstopper wherever placed. 

Sourced in Interlaken, Switzerland.
