EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1914 titled "AUTOMOBILE CARTOON, The Automortgagemobile" captures the essence of early American transportation with a humorous twist. Depicting a scene straight out of an American magazine, this cartoon showcases the comical side of automobile culture in the early 20th century. The central focus is on a peculiar vehicle known as the "Automortgagemobile" which cleverly combines two words that perfectly encapsulate its purpose. This whimsical creation represents the struggles faced by many families during that time when it came to financing their automobiles. A banker sits behind the wheel, symbolizing both financial institutions' role in granting loans and also poking fun at their potential involvement in creating such an unusual contraption. Surrounding this unique car are various characters representing different aspects of society - a driver navigating through uncertain roads, passengers enjoying the ride while anxiously holding onto their hats, and even political figures observing from afar. This diverse group highlights how automobiles were not only transforming transportation but also influencing family dynamics and politics. With its intricate details and playful composition, this artwork offers a glimpse into America's past where cars were still relatively new but already making waves across society. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when travel was an adventure filled with laughter and unexpected surprises.
