EDITORS COMMENTS
by W Heath Robinson: A Delightful Snapshot of Transport Humor in the 1930s This charming vignette, titled "Railway Ribaldry," is a captivating illustration by the renowned British artist W Heath Robinson, created in 1935. The image showcases a delightful scene of railway life, filled with humor and whimsy that resonated with the spirit of the 1930s. At the heart of the illustration lies a busman's holiday, a term used to describe a worker taking a vacation in an occupation similar to their own. Here, we see a kind-hearted engine driver, dressed in his uniform, enjoying a leisurely day off with his family. He sits comfortably on the footplate of a steam locomotive, with his wife and children playing nearby. The driver seems to be in his element, even pushing a pram filled with babies along the railway tracks. The scene is further enriched by the presence of a coal truck and a train full of trucks, adding a touch of authenticity to the railway setting. The driver's colleagues, amused by the sight, can be seen in the background, waving and smiling from the windows of their locomotives. This illustration, a testament to the lighter side of transport culture in the 1930s, is reminiscent of a bygone era. The Great Western Railway (GWR) of the Victorian and early steam age, with its steam engines and coal trucks, is brought to life in this delightful vignette. The illustration's timeless charm and humor continue to captivate audiences even today, making it a cherished piece of transport history.
