While human interest in automata is quite ancient and dates back to Ancient Greece, the Golden Age of automata came in the late 19th-early 20th century, long before the sophisticated electronics and information technologies and approximately at the same time that the baton-twirling majorette dancers appeared. The majorette dancers accompanied the marching bands during parades twirling flags, light-up batons, and fire batons. The Automaton of a Baton-Twirling Girl exhibited at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts was originally used for advertising purposes and comes as a symbol of American advertising art of mid-20th century, CCA said in a press release.
