EDITORS COMMENTS
A Humorous Commentary on the Dawn of the Electric Era: Notice to Quit, Cartoon by Unknown Artist, 1900 In this whimsical cartoon, titled "Notice to Quit," the mischievous Fairy Electra, embodying the new era of electric trains, playfully banishes the Steam Locomotive Underground Demon from the London Underground. The scene unfolds at a Central London Railway (CLR) station, with the iconic "Twopenny Tube" sign in the background. The year is 1900, and the Prince of Wales has just opened the Central Line, extending from Shepherds Bush in the west to Bank in the east. The cartoon captures the essence of the transition from the gritty, steam-powered Victorian era to the cleaner, more humanized Edwardian age. The Steam Locomotive Underground Demon, with its soot-covered visage and menacing presence, is contrasted with the ethereal and graceful Fairy Electra, heralding the arrival of electric trains. The notice to quit symbolizes the end of an era, as the steam locomotive is unceremoniously evicted from the Underground. This delightful cartoon not only captures the spirit of innovation and progress but also serves as a commentary on the introduction of electric trains on the London Underground. The image is a testament to the power of humor in documenting history and the enduring appeal of the Underground's rich past.
