Whoa! Back-Pedal
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and humorous music cover from the early 1900s, showcasing a vintage scene of a man frantically pedaling backwards on a bicycle while trying to avoid various hazards in the countryside. The cover, featuring words by Worton David and music by Henry E. Pether, was sung by T.E. Dunville and published around the turn of the century. The image transports us back to a time when transportation was simpler, and cycling was a popular mode of travel in rural areas. The man in the illustration wears a red shirt and black trousers, adding a pop of color against the white background. His determined expression and outstretched arms convey a sense of urgency, as he attempts to back-pedal to avoid the bull charging towards him, its menacing horns raised high. The comic relief in the scene comes from the other animals and obstacles that the man encounters on his path. A dog barks at him from the side, while a goat stands in the middle of the road, and a tree branch reaches out to obstruct his way. The man's predicament is further emphasized by the caption above his head, which reads "Whoa! Back-Pedal!" This charming music cover is a reminder of the hazards and dangers that came with everyday life in the Victorian era. It also showcases the humor and lightheartedness that people found in even the most mundane situations. With its vibrant colors and intriguing storyline, "Whoa! Back-Pedal" is a captivating glimpse into the past that is sure to bring a smile to your face.
