The Automatic Policeman
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and satirical Victorian-era cartoon that captures the intrigue and amusement of early traffic control. In this 1889 print from Mary Evans Picture Library, a mischievous onlooker is seen inserting a penny into the slot of a quirky traffic-stopping device. The automatic policeman, a robot-like figure dressed in a police uniform, comes to life, extending his arms to halt the traffic on the busy London street. The horses and carriages, as well as the pedestrians, come to a sudden halt, creating a humorous scene of order and control. The cartoon reflects the fascination with automation and technology during the late 1800s, as well as the need for efficient traffic management in urban areas. With its clever use of satire and humor, "The Automatic Policeman" offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the era. The intricate details of the cartoon, from the ornate traffic lights to the expressive facial expressions of the characters, add to its charm and appeal. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of transportation, satire, or the Victorian era.
