EDITORS COMMENTS
Dea(r) Ex Machina, W.S. Hutton, October 1928, Illustration, The Illustrated London News (ILN), p. 7 In this illustration by W.S. Hutton, published in The Illustrated London News (ILN) on October 1928 (p. 7), we find a fashionable lady in a chic, elegant outfit, deeply engrossed in trying to diagnose what seems to be an issue with her car. The scene is set against the backdrop of a serene, autumnal landscape, with leaves falling gently from the trees and the sun casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. The lady's sophisticated attire, complete with a stylish hat and fur coat, contrasts sharply with the mechanical components of the car, emphasizing the juxtaposition between the human world and the technological one. Her determined expression and the tools she holds in her hands suggest that she is no stranger to mechanical matters, yet the complexity of the car's engine leaves her stumped. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of fashion, technology, and gender roles during the early 20th century. It also highlights the growing importance of automobiles in everyday life, as well as the increasing presence of women in various spheres of society. The intricate details and masterful use of shading in Hutton's illustration serve to bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time and inviting us to ponder the mysteries of technology and the human spirit. With its timeless appeal and rich historical context, Dea(r) Ex Machina remains a captivating work of art that continues to resonate with audiences today.
