Some Account of Llangollen and Its Vicinity Including a Circuit of About Seven Miles: The Humours of Motoring and Cycling - Softcover
Synopsis
A cloud of dust rises along a country lane; the confident whirr of a new-fangled motorcar collides with the steady rhythm of a cyclist's pedals. In these lively, illustrated pages, the British fascination with motoring and cycling at the dawn of the automobile era is skewered with wit as sharp as a well-oiled spoke. Here, the eccentricities of early motorists and the pluck of intrepid cyclists are brought to life through a tapestry of motoring humour and cycling humour, each vignette rendered with the sly intelligence of Victorian era cartoons and the satirical bite of British comic art. The result is a portrait of a society in motion-sometimes literally careening-towards modernity, with all the comic social commentary and delightful absurdities that such a transition invites. The book's illustrated humour springs from the golden age of British satire, capturing both the thrill and the chaos of early automobile history. Each scene unfolds with a knowing eye for the foibles of its characters, from the hapless driver to the determined velocipedist, all set against the backdrop of a society negotiating the etiquette and hazards of the open road. The humour is grounded in the everyday-punctured tyres, befuddled pedestrians, the gentle rivalry between cyclists and motorists-yet it resonates with anyone who has ever found themselves at the mercy of new technology or shifting social rules. The blend of motoring cartoons and cycling cartoons offers not only laughter but also a glimpse into the anxieties and aspirations of a bygone era, making it a work of humorous travel writing that remains surprisingly fresh. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
