EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph by Gustave Dore captures a hilarious scene from the early days of motoring. In this whimsical artwork, we witness a cow coming to the rescue of a stranded motorist whose car has broken down. With its bright colors and playful composition, the print exudes humor and charm. The image depicts a male driver standing helplessly beside his stalled automobile while holding onto a rope that is attached to the front of his vehicle. To his astonishment, a determined cow steps forward to lend its strength in pulling the motor car out of trouble. The absurdity of this situation is further emphasized by the bewildered expression on both the driver's face and that of our bovine hero. Dore's clever portrayal not only highlights the challenges faced by early motorists but also offers an amusing commentary on human reliance on animals during times of technological mishaps. This delightful artwork reminds us that even in moments of frustration or inconvenience, unexpected solutions can arise, often with humorous results. With its blend of wit and nostalgia, "Cow pulling a motor car - A breakdown in the early days of motoring" brings joy to viewers as it playfully celebrates both our ingenuity and our ability to find laughter amidst life's little misadventures.
