EDITORS COMMENTS
The Man Who Watches The Speedometer" is a captivating illustration by the renowned artist, Bateman, depicting a man's obsession with speed. In this 1924 masterpiece, we find a man in the driver's seat of a classic car, his eyes glued to the speedometer. As the needle creeps up, the man's world begins to spin out of control. At first, the wind snatches away his hat, leaving him bare-headed. Next, his hair stands on end as the speed increases, but the man remains unfazed. His focus is solely on the speedometer, the numbers dancing before his eyes. The landscape outside the car blurs into a kaleidoscope of colors, but the man's gaze remains unwavering. The speedometer reads 500mph, and the man's heart races in sync with the engine. But as the car comes to a stop, the man's body is left paralyzed by the meter. His face is a mask of concentration, his body rigid and unresponsive. The man has become one with the speedometer, hypnotized by its power. The illustration is a humorous commentary on the dangers of speed and the human obsession with going fast. Bateman's use of exaggerated details and vibrant colors adds to the amusing and funny nature of the piece. The man's transformation from a casual driver to a speed-crazed fanatic is a reminder of the power of speed and the consequences of losing control. This classic illustration is a must-have for any collection of vintage art or for those with a fascination for the history of automobiles and the human condition. The man in the car may be a relic of the past, but his story remains timeless.
