EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming cartoon, titled "How the Trains get Delayed," is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era in transport history. The image, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, captures the moment of romance and oblivion as a courting couple enjoys a quiet moment at Brighton Station on the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in October 1919. The scene is set at the 22nd platform, where the couple, engrossed in their conversation, are seemingly unaware of the chaos and delay they are causing to the train schedule. The train in the background is visibly delayed, with passengers looking on in frustration, but the couple's blissful ignorance adds to the whimsical charm of the scene. The cartoon, created by Mary Evan, is a classic example of the humorous and insightful social commentary that was popular during the early 20th century. The use of simple yet expressive illustrations and clever captions were a staple of the era's cartoonists, who captured the essence of everyday life with wit and humor. Transport, particularly trains, was a significant part of British life during this period, and the railway system was a vital artery that connected people and communities across the country. This cartoon offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the simple pleasures and the occasional inconveniences that came with traveling by train in the early 1900s. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic art and the power of a single moment to transport us back in time. Whether you're a history buff, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-drawn cartoon, "How the Trains get Delayed" is a must-see addition to your collection.
