A Thoughtful Man
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of humor and satire. This satirical cartoon from Punch magazine depicts an early scene of horse-drawn carriages being overtaken by a primitive motor car. The artwork, part of the private collection Look and Learn / George Collection, showcases the transition in transportation during that era. The image portrays Mr. Jenkins, our thoughtful protagonist, driving his automobile with a mix of excitement and trepidation. As he arrives at Epsom, surrounded by traditional horse-drawn vehicles, his presence brings both amusement and curiosity among onlookers. This satirical drawing cleverly highlights the clash between old-fashioned means of transport and this newfangled invention called "the motor car". With its scathing satire and caricature-like style, it pokes fun at society's resistance to change while embracing progress. Through this humorous lens, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time – from horses to automobiles – reflecting societal advancements as well as resistance to innovation. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of progress or change, there will always be individuals who approach these transformations with thoughtfulness or skepticism. Bridgeman Images' print captures every detail beautifully; allowing viewers to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also the historical significance behind this satirical masterpiece.
