EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The New Safety Street: A Humorous Take on Early Motorist Training by W. Heath Robinson". This delightful illustration by the renowned British humourist, W. Heath Robinson, titled "The New Safety Street," offers a charming and whimsical glimpse into the early days of motorist training. Dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, this image showcases a unique and imaginative approach to teaching the rules of the road to new drivers. In the foreground, we see a determined young man named Will I Am, seated behind the wheel of an open-topped vehicle. He wears a protective suit, complete with a helmet, goggles, and padding, as he practices his driving skills on a specially designed street named "Safety Street." Surrounding him are various quirky obstacles and distractions, including a man playing a trumpet, a dog pulling on a leash, and a child on a tricycle. The scene is filled with amusing details that reflect the humor and playful spirit of Heath Robinson's work. For instance, a sign on a nearby building reads, "Driving School for Beginners," while a man in the crowd holds up a placard that reads, "Look Out for Pedestrians." This illustration not only provides an entertaining insight into the history of motorist training but also highlights the importance of safety and protection while learning to drive. The New Safety Street serves as a reminder of the early challenges faced by motorists and the creative ways in which they were taught to navigate the roads.
