EDITORS COMMENTS
Deciding the Right of Way by William Heath Robinson is a humorous and whimsical illustration from the early 20th century that captures the chaos and confusion of navigating traffic. In this black and white lithograph, Robinson depicts a comical scene where various vehicles - cars, bicycles, pedestrians, and even a horse-drawn carriage - are all vying for the right of way on a busy street. The intricate details in Robinson's artwork showcase his talent for creating elaborate contraptions and absurd scenarios. Each character in the illustration is engaged in their own unique struggle to assert their dominance on the road, resulting in a delightful cacophony of movement and interaction. This print was originally created as an illustration for How to be a Motorist, a book co-authored by Robinson and K R G Browne in 1939. The satirical tone of the image reflects the authors' playful take on the challenges of driving etiquette during that time period. Deciding the Right of Way is not just a charming piece of art but also serves as a reminder of how humor can be used to shed light on everyday situations. It continues to entertain viewers with its timeless appeal and clever commentary on human behavior behind the wheel.
