EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Coincidental Detour: Frank M. Lea's Humorous Illustration of Road Advice from 1927 This charming and humorous color illustration by Frank M. Lea, titled "Road Advice," depicts a somewhat bemused car driver as he comes to a halt before an unexpectedly apt road sign. The scene is set in October of 1927, with the autumn leaves falling gently around the car and the sign. The sign, bearing the inscription "Turn Left at the Next Corner - D River," seems to have given the driver some coincidentally good advice. The driver, with a puzzled expression on his face, looks at the sign, then at the road ahead, and then back at the sign, as if trying to make sense of the situation. The signpost behind him reads "Important Diversion," adding to the driver's confusion. The illustration, which measures 7 x 9 inches, is a delightful example of Lea's artistic skill and sense of humor. The colors are bright and vibrant, with the red car, green leaves, and blue sky standing out against the muted tones of the background. The attention to detail, from the driver's surprised expression to the leaves falling around the car, adds to the overall charm of the piece. This historical illustration is a testament to the simple joys of the road trip and the unexpected twists and turns that life can take. It is a reminder that sometimes, the best advice comes when we least expect it, and that even the most mundane moments can be filled with humor and wonder. This image, which is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) Import collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in vintage illustration, road history, or simply a love for the unexpected. It is a unique and charming addition to any collection, and a reminder of the simpler pleasures of life.
