EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, dated 1938 from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts the humorous scene of a man named Dunderpate in hot pursuit of a coach and horses. The coach, with its distinctive silhouette, is pulled by two powerful horses, while the coachman cracks his whip to keep them in check. The squire and his elegant lady, seated inside the coach, seem oblivious to the commotion behind them. Dunderpate, a bumbling and clumsy character, is shown in the foreground, his long, lanky body in disarray as he stumbles and runs after the coach. His expression is one of determination and longing, suggesting that the fortune inside the coach is what he desires. The children and other onlookers, some laughing and pointing, add to the lively atmosphere of the scene. This illustration, reminiscent of the 1930s, captures the essence of the era with its charming depiction of transportation and the fashionable attire of the squire and his lady. The use of contrasting colors and bold lines adds to the visual appeal of the image. The scene can be interpreted in various ways, from a simple tale of a man chasing after his dreams to a commentary on the pursuit of wealth and fortune. Regardless of the interpretation, this illustration is a delightful glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring appeal of classic illustrations.
