Edward Linley Sambourne (1844-1910), 'The Race of Death', ''Punch'', June 3, 1903

I'm very much in the "anti-car culture" camp and find cars to be one of the worst aspects of living in any city (especially in Philly in the summer). It seems early cartoonists often depicted cars as machines of death around their general introduction into our shared public spaces. (I've amassed a rather large collection of these anti-car cartoons, this one from Punch being just one example.) Here's some car facts from a recent study from the Journal of Transport Geography: 1) 1 in 34 deaths are caused by cars and automobility with 1,670,000 deaths per year 2) Cars and automobility have killed 60–80 million people since their invention

At left, the type of 1840s man that many people want, looking dashing in his evening costume and with the fashionable barrel chest and defined waist of his breed.

At right, a more typical example of the 1840s man that you will find at discount prices: note the striped trousers, huge paletot coat, and cigar.

This is the difference that proper vetting of your 19th century man can make! Of course, many people are happy with the Gent on the right and will gladly indulge his fashion habits and smoking.

A Cruikshank Feathursday

As part of a recent gift from Frederick Vogel III, we received a copy of George Cruikshank's Table-Book, edited by English humorist Gilbert Abbott à Beckett (1811-1856), illustrated by English caricaturist and book illustrator George Cruikshank (1792-1878), and published in London by the British satirical magazine Punch in 1845. Among the scores of ridiculous illustrations is a steel engraving titled “Annual Emigration of Birds” illustrating a short article entitled “Social Zoology -- Ornithology” in which à Beckett equates various segments of English society to species of birds, including Vultures (”always pouncing upon others”), Hawks (”whose prey is the pigeon”), Boobies (”walks with difficulty, and in fact can’t get on”), and Spoonbills (”a sort of adjutant to the Wild Goose . . . going frequently on Wild Goose errands”).

#OTD in 1867 – A bomb was planted at Clerkenwell gaol, in London, in an attempt to free Irish Fenian prisoners, notably Richard Burke.

The Fenians simply wheeled a barrel of gunpowder up to the wall of the facility when they expected the inmates to be at exercise in the adjacent yard. The explosion blasted a 60-foot gap in the wall; the inward-collapsing rubble might easily have been the death rather than the salvation of the prospective beneficiaries, except that they weren’t actually in the yard at all — nobody was, and nobody…

"The age of the comet ascertained to a nicety. The antediluvians recognise an old acquantance of A.M. 1372" from Punch magazine 41, July p. 34, July (1861)

"The comet was visible to the naked eye for three months in that year. The comet is now formally designated C/1861 J1 or 1861 II. The cartoon supposes the dinosaurs saw the same periodic comet during their reign on earth...The cartoon gains poignance in light of the comet's near approach and recent theories about the dinosaurs' demise"
