1925 Birds Eye View Future Gardner Judge Neck Officer Pedestrian Pickpocket Police Running Traffic Wing Winged

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "REA: CARTOON, 1925. Evolution - 1950" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a humorous glimpse into the future of city dwellers. Created by Gardner Rea for Judge magazine in 1925, this cartoon cleverly depicts how urbanites will evolve over the next quarter-century. In this whimsical illustration, we see a bustling city street from a bird's eye view. Amidst the chaotic traffic and busy pedestrians, one cannot help but notice the comical transformations taking place. A police officer sprouts wings and takes flight while chasing down a pickpocket with an elongated neck and leg. A woman grows wings as well, gracefully soaring through the air above her fellow citizens. Rea's imaginative vision of evolution humorously suggests that in just twenty-five years' time, humans will adapt to their urban environment by developing avian attributes. This lighthearted portrayal invites viewers to contemplate what changes may lie ahead for humanity as cities continue to grow and evolve. With its intricate details capturing both the energy of city life and Rea's playful imagination, this vintage cartoon is truly a treasure from America's past. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, it offers us not only entertainment but also insight into how people envisioned our future almost a century ago – reminding us that even amidst progress and change, there is always room for laughter and creativity.
