EDITORS COMMENTS
by Mallet: A Chilling Tale of Winter Driving in 1953 In this and humorous print by Mallet, titled "A Ghostly Corner," we find ourselves in the midst of a thrilling winter driving adventure. The scene depicts a driver, tense and focused, as he skillfully maneuvers his coach around a notoriously tricky corner on a snow-covered road. His fellow passengers, bundled up against the cold, share in his apprehension, their eyes wide with anticipation. As they peer out the window, they are met with an unexpected sight: the ghostly apparitions of past drivers, both of coaches and motorcycles, who have met their demise at this very corner. The ghosts, with their spectral forms and haunting grins, seem to be offering a cautionary nod to the current occupants of the coach, urging them to proceed with care. The date, 1953, adds an intriguing layer to the story, as it transports us back to a time when winter driving was a more dangerous and unpredictable endeavor. The print's cartoonish style, with its exaggerated expressions and charming details, adds a touch of whimsy and humor to the otherwise perilous situation. As we take in the scene, we can't help but chuckle at the amusing and lighthearted take on the dangers of winter driving. "Time out, Council," the driver exclaims, referring to the local authorities, "did something about that dashed corner - it's always been a bit tricky." But even with the council's intervention, it seems that the ghostly corner still holds its share of surprises. This print, with its rich history and delightful storytelling, is a must-have for any collection that celebrates the joys and challenges of motoring through the winter months. Whether you're a fan of cartoons, history, or simply appreciate a good laugh, "A Ghostly Corner" by Mallet is sure to bring a smile to your face.
