EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and humorous illustration by W. Heath Robinson, titled "Railway Ribaldry," an old man takes a leisurely stroll through a field, stopping to gaze at a broken-down old steam engine. The year is 1935, and the scene is reminiscent of the early steam railways of the 1830s and 1835. The engine, with its rusted wheels and overgrown foliage, stands as a testament to the passage of time and the evolution of transportation. The old man, dressed in a coat, cap, and carrying a walking stick and pipe, seems to find amusement in the sight of the disused locomotive. His silhouette, contrasted against the dark background, adds to the comic and lighthearted tone of the illustration. The engine, once a symbol of power and progress, now lies abandoned and forgotten, its funnel and smokestack reaching up like antiquated fingers into the sky. This illustration, with its blend of transport history and comic humor, is a delightful vignette from the 1930s. It captures the essence of a bygone era, when steam trains were a common sight on the rails and the world moved at a slower pace. The Great Western Railway, or GWR, may not be mentioned in the title, but the influence of the company and the railways of that time is palpable in this charming and nostalgic illustration.
