EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Humorous Illustration by H.M. Bateman, 1922 In this classic illustration by British cartoonist H.M. Bateman, titled "The Eighth Wonder!", we find ourselves in a room filled with members of the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) engaged in lively socialization. The scene is set in the early 1920s, an era of innovation and excitement as automobiles began to dominate the landscape. At the heart of the gathering, one man stands out from the rest. He is the only one among them who actually owns a car. Bateman masterfully captures the moment of awe and amusement that surrounds this man, as the other members look on with admiration tinged with humor. The man of the hour smokes a cigar and dons a monocle, exuding an air of superiority and self-satisfaction. The artist's use of humor and amusement is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the other men. Their wide-eyed gazes and open mouths speak volumes about their fascination with the car owner. Bateman's ability to encapsulate the spirit of the time and the human condition is truly remarkable. "The Eighth Wonder!" is a testament to Bateman's talent as a master of satire and social commentary. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a humorous and enduring reminder of the allure and fascination that cars held in the early 20th century. This illustration is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of automobiles, British humor, or simply a good laugh.
