"Bumping: A Whirlwind of Fun and Chaos from the Past" Step back in time with Picture No. 12479487, as we witness "The Tragic End of a Child (Colour Litho)" - an intriguing glimpse into history's dark side. But fear not, for amidst the darkness, there is light-heartedness to be found. Take a look at "Beating the Boundaries; Bumping the Vicar against a Barn Door, Bisley, Woking Surrey, 1888" - an amusing scene that reminds us of simpler times when harmless pranks brought laughter to our lives. In another litho masterpiece titled "Spinning and kicking and bumping and twirling and twisting over and over at the mouth of the big brass nozzle, " we are transported to a world where joy knows no bounds. The energy captured in this artwork is contagious. Meanwhile, "You are requested to keep the Hall Doors shut on Account of the Animals in the Park (litho)" warns us about mischievous creatures lurking nearby. Perhaps they too enjoy some good old-fashioned bumping fun? Speaking of boundaries being broken, let's not forget "Beating the Parish Boundaries (engraving). " This image showcases how communities came together through friendly competition while celebrating their shared heritage. Comic postcards add a touch of humor to our journey through time. From a man enjoying his seaside visit with a large stick of rock and seaweed to plump individuals basking on sandy shores – these snapshots capture carefree moments that make us smile. And what about those awkward encounters? Couples dancing at parties often find themselves unexpectedly colliding – just like in one comic postcard aptly titled "Bumping into each other. " It seems even love can't escape its fair share of bumps along life's dance floor. For thrill-seekers seeking adrenaline rushes long ago, there was nothing quite like waiting for that gun to go off at a "Bumping race".
