Railway Ribaldry
EDITORS COMMENTS
by W. Heath Robinson: A Humorous Take on Railway Life in the 1930s This delightful print, published by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in their centenary year of 1935, showcases two of W. Heath Robinson's iconic illustrations, one on each cover. The front cover depicts a winding railway track with a train laboriously making its way uphill. Passengers on the platform wait impatiently, while a family of hens and chicks, clinging to the tracks, seem to be causing the delay. The back cover reveals a comical scene of a policeman attempting to control a chaotic railway scene, with trucks piled high with bricks, coal, and fuel, and various signals and flags creating confusion. Heath Robinson, a renowned British illustrator and cartoonist, was known for his whimsical and humorous depictions of everyday life. In "Railway Ribaldry," he captures the essence of railway travel in the 1930s, poking fun at the delays, the chaos, and the seemingly endless waits that were part and parcel of the railway experience. The vibrant colors of the yellow and green train cars and the contrasting shades of the coal and brick trucks add to the playful and lighthearted nature of the illustrations. The front and back covers of "Railway Ribaldry" offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when railway travel was an adventure, filled with unexpected twists and turns, and a healthy dose of humor. This print is a testament to Heath Robinson's ability to capture the spirit of the era and to bring a smile to our faces with his inimitable style.
