EDITORS COMMENTS

The Car That Touched a Policeman" is a classic comic illustration by the renowned British satirical artist H.M. Bateman, published in the Illustrated London News (ILN) in the 1920s. The humorous image captures a moment of chaos and embarrassment on a busy street, as an entire queue of traffic, as well as pedestrians, come to a standstill in response to an unexpected accident. At the heart of the scene, a small, yellow car inadvertently bumps into an incandesescently irate policeman, who stands in the middle of the road, directing traffic. The force of the impact sends the policeman flying backwards, his outraged expression and flailing arms conveying a sense of shock and anger that is both comically over-the-top and deeply relatable. The other drivers and pedestrians in the scene are depicted in various states of aghast disbelief, some covering their mouths in shock, others shaking their heads in disbelief. The gridlock of cars and buses behind the accident adds to the sense of chaos and confusion, while the policeman's angry glare and raised baton suggest that the situation is about to escalate further. Bateman's masterful use of humor and social commentary in this image makes it a beloved and enduring piece of comic art from the early 20th century. The illustration offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the social norms and humorous quirks of the era, while also highlighting the universal human experiences of frustration, embarrassment, and the unexpected twists and turns of everyday life. This image is part of the extensive collection of historical prints available from Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bateman's work, which continues to entertain and delight audiences around the world.
