Chased Chasing Driving Heath Motorist Robinson Signs Speed Will I Am


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical illustration by the renowned British humourist and illustrator, W. Heath Robinson (1872-1944), titled "How To Be A Motorist," a man in a silhouetted car speeds blissfully forward, oblivious to the chaotic scene unfolding behind him. A series of road signs, personified as quirky characters, frantically chase after the car, each attempting to hitch a ride or convey important messages about speed limits, one-way streets, and other essential rules of the road. Heath Robinson's illustration, created in the early 20th century, is a testament to the newfound freedom and excitement of automobile travel during that era. The illustration's historical significance lies in its depiction of the transition from horse-drawn carriages to motor vehicles, a time when the rules of the road were still being established. The man in the driver's seat, with a determined expression and a confident grip on the steering wheel, represents the spirit of adventure and independence that came with the advent of the automobile. The chaotic scene of the road signs in hot pursuit adds a touch of humor and highlights the challenges and uncertainties that came with this new mode of transportation. This illustration is a reminder of the rich history of transport and the evolution of driving culture. With its delightful blend of humor and historical significance, it continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists and designers to this day.
