EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1846 with this satirical futuristic print of Hyde Park as it will be. Imagine gentlemen riding personal steam engines, pumping out fumes as they parade through the park. Queen Victoria and her family are depicted riding a large engine, with Horse Guards mounted on an engine beside them.
This handcoloured etching by John Leech from Follies of the Year is a scathing satire on Victorian society and its obsession with technology. The exaggerated depiction of steam engines and coal-powered vehicles provides a humorous commentary on the rapid industrialization of the era.
As you study this intricate drawing, notice the details like the bucket-shaped helmets worn by the riders and the comical expressions on their faces. The juxtaposition of traditional horse-drawn carriages with these modern contraptions adds to the comedic effect.
Whether you appreciate historical satire or simply enjoy whimsical artwork, this print is sure to spark your imagination and transport you to a world where steam-powered engines rule the streets of Hyde Park. Take a closer look at this unique piece from Punch's Pocket Books and discover all its hidden gems.
