It is an ill wind that blows no good,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an old proverb takes on a humorous and up-to-date twist in this caricature illustration by E F Sherie. The image, dated back to 1910, depicts a biplane in a state of catastrophic crash, its wings askew and propeller spinning wildly in a field. Yet, amidst the chaos, a farmer and his cart horse seem to be taking a leisurely rest, oblivious to the calamitous event unfolding before them. The artist, E F Sherie, masterfully employs a light-hearted and satirical touch to the scene, inviting the viewer to find humor in the unexpected juxtaposition of the crash and the tranquility of the countryside. Sherie, a renowned illustrator of the early 20th century, is best known for his work on "True Stories of Girl Heroines" by Evelyn Everett-Green. His illustrations were a staple in magazines and books during the 1910s, and his unique style and wit continue to captivate audiences today. This image, with its clever blend of the serious and the absurd, is a testament to Sherie's artistic prowess and his ability to find levity in the most unlikely of situations. The intricate details of the illustration, from the creases in the farmer's trousers to the expression of surprise on the horse's face, add depth and character to the scene. The use of bold lines and vibrant colors further emphasizes the energy and excitement of the moment, making this a truly captivating piece of art from the early 20th century. Overall, this caricature illustration of a crashing biplane in a field, with the farmer and cart horse taking a rest, is a delightful and humorous take on the old proverb "it is an ill wind that blows no good." It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, there is always room for a little levity and perspective.
