1910 Front Page New Bedford Personification Top Hat World Evening Standard


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cartoon from the front page of the New Bedford, Massachusetts Evening Standard on May 18,1910. The image humorously personifies Halley's Comet, which was set to wrap its tail around the earth that very night. In this early 20th-century American cartoon, we see Halley's Comet depicted as a distinguished figure wearing a top hat. The artist skillfully captures the essence of turn-of-the-century humor by giving an astronomical phenomenon human-like qualities. This whimsical portrayal adds an element of charm and playfulness to our understanding of this celestial event. The significance of this particular cartoon lies in its historical context. During this time period, people were fascinated by astronomy and eagerly anticipated rare occurrences like comets passing close to Earth. The fact that it made headlines in a local newspaper speaks volumes about the public's interest in scientific discoveries and their desire for knowledge beyond their immediate surroundings. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we are transported back to a time when scientific wonders ignited curiosity and imagination among ordinary individuals. It serves as a reminder that even in an era without advanced technology or space exploration capabilities, people found joy in observing natural phenomena such as Halley's Comet.
