Sardine-time on the Tube: A Humorous Take on the Overcrowding and Discomforts of Wartime Commuting in London This delightful cartoon by George Studdy, titled "Sardine-time on the Tube," offers a humorous glimpse into the daily struggles of Londoners during the First World War. Dated 1917, this image is part of Studdy's series depicting the various trials and tribulations of life on the home front. In this particular piece, Studdy masterfully captures the essence of the overcrowded and often uncomfortable commute on the London Underground. The scene unfolds as a sea of people, packed tightly together like sardines, jostle and push their way onto a packed tube train. The expression on the faces of the commuters ranges from resigned acceptance to outright frustration, as they endure the squash and crush of the crowded carriage. The cartoon's title, "Sardine-time on the Tube," aptly describes the situation, as the commuters are indeed reminiscent of the small, tin-packed fish. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by Londoners during the war, as they continued to commute to work despite the hardships. The overcrowding on public transport was a common issue, with the demand for travel increasing due to the large number of people working in munitions factories, offices, and other essential industries. The humorous take on this situation, however, adds a lighthearted touch to the otherwise daunting reality of wartime commuting. In summary, "Sardine-time on the Tube" is a charming and humorous depiction of life on the home front during the First World War. George Studdy's cartoon captures the essence of the overcrowded and uncomfortable commute on the London Underground, offering a glimpse into the daily struggles and resilience of Londoners during this challenging time in history.
