The New and the Old
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that transports us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of contrast and cultural exchange. In this intriguing image, an English School artist skillfully depicts a scene from "A Book of Engines" published by Blackie in approximately 1930. The print showcases two worlds colliding as modern automobiles meet traditional Arab transportation in the heart of Africa's vast desert. The juxtaposition between these contrasting modes of transport is striking; sleek motorcars stand alongside majestic camels, symbolizing both progress and tradition. The vibrant colours bring life to the scene, highlighting the beauty of the African landscape while emphasizing the significance of these vehicles. The intricate details capture our attention - from the intricate engine designs on display to every strand of fur on each camel's back. This artwork not only celebrates technological advancements but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration. It reminds us that even in remote corners of the world, cultures intertwine through trade routes and travel. "The New and the Old" invites viewers to reflect on how transportation has shaped societies throughout history. It prompts contemplation about our own relationship with progress and tradition, urging us to appreciate both innovation and heritage. With its rich historical context and stunning visual composition, this print by Bridgeman Images offers a glimpse into an era where new possibilities met age-old traditions amidst Africa's enchanting landscapes.
