Published within The Tatler for 10 April 1935, this wonderfully inventive cartoon is a fine example of H. M. Bateman at the height of his artistic powers. As an artist who developed the strip cartoon, it is noteworthy for presenting a sequence of three drawings to suggest the perils of high-speed train travel. Writing about the artist in The Best of Bateman, Mark Boxer noted that his drawings ".provided what the British wanted from their artists, a minor conversational piece. But on a more flattering level the humorous drawings of Bateman were almost as important to the public in a pre-television age as the comedy of John Cleese and Eric Morecambe was fifty years later". H. M. Bateman, The Best of H. M. Bateman, 1987 Original drawing (360 x 254 mm) comprising a sequence of three drawings on thick paper (396 x 282 mm), ink and watercolour, signed "H." "M. Bateman" lower right, title below mount, agent's stamp and The Tatler stamp to reverse, mounted, framed and glazed (framed size 593 x 440 mm). Fine and unfaded.
