A New Cure for Seasickness, what we may expect on the Channel Boats
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical lithograph that takes us back to the year 1900. Created by William Ralston and now part of a private collection, this humorous illustration was originally published in The Graphic. In this comical scene, Ralston invites us to imagine a revolutionary solution to the age-old problem of seasickness. Passengers aboard the Channel Boats are seen engaging in peculiar activities as they attempt to combat their queasiness. From acrobatics and balancing acts to unconventional exercises, these brave souls are determined to find relief from their discomfort. The artist's imagination knows no bounds as he presents an array of outlandish contraptions designed specifically for combating seasickness. Some passengers can be seen strapped into spinning wheels or suspended upside down from ropes while others cling onto poles attached precariously to the ship's deck. Ralston's witty depiction not only showcases his artistic talent but also offers a lighthearted commentary on human ingenuity and our ability to adapt even in challenging circumstances. With its detailed engravings and clever composition, this print captures both the absurdity and resilience of those who dare venture across turbulent waters. As we gaze upon this delightful piece from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder that humor has always been an essential tool for coping with life's trials – even when faced with something as dreaded as seasickness.
