EDITORS COMMENTS
A Misunderstood Discovery: A Charming 1909 Cartoon from The Tatler by Will Owen Date: 3rd November 1909 In this black-and-white cartoon from The Tatler, published on the 3rd of November 1909, British artist Will Owen masterfully captures the essence of human misunderstanding and the intrigue of scientific discovery. The cartoon, titled "Identified," showcases a distinguished, whiskered professor, engrossed in a serious discussion with the alluring Miss Barnes of New York. The professor, with a grave expression, presents a photograph to the bewildered Miss Barnes. The photograph, which lies in the open on the table, reveals the intriguing image of a skull. The professor's intent, however, seems to be lost on Miss Barnes, who appears to be more intrigued by the professor's appearance and the allure of the glamorous life in London, rather than the scientific significance of the skull before her. The cartoon, with its clever use of humor and visual storytelling, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Edwardian era. The professor, with his focus on the world of science and discovery, stands in stark contrast to the glamorous and fashionable Miss Barnes. The skull on the table, a symbol of the past, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. As a fascinating glimpse into the past, this cartoon offers a unique insight into the social norms and cultural nuances of the early 20th century. The professor's pursuit of knowledge and discovery, juxtaposed with Miss Barnes' fascination with the glamour and allure of London, highlights the contrasting worlds that coexisted during this era. Will Owen's "Identified" is a delightful and intriguing piece of art that continues to captivate and engage audiences over a century after its initial publication. This cartoon is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the universal human experiences that connect us all.
