EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1909, a tramp, deep in thought, pauses in his travels to contemplate an intriguing sight in the distance. With a quizzical expression on his weathered face, he utters to himself, "So that's what it is! I thought it was a beehive!" The enigma before him proves to be nothing more than a lady, her voluminous skirts billowing in the breeze, surrounded by a delightful entourage of small dogs. The tramp's moment of confusion is both amusing and endearing, as he is taken aback by the unexpected scene. The use of distance and Hassall's masterful illustration style lends an air of mystery and charm to the scene. The lady, with her elegant dress and graceful demeanor, stands in stark contrast to the rugged and unkempt appearance of the tramp. The small dogs, playfully at her feet, add to the whimsical and humorous nature of the image. This cartoon, with its timeless appeal, showcases the fashion trends of the era, with the lady's full skirts and the tramp's outdated attire. The image is a delightful reminder of the past, and the unexpected twist in the tramp's perception of the scene adds a touch of humor and amusement. This print, with its charming and humorous depiction of everyday life, is a must-have for any collector of cartoons or early 20th-century illustrations.
