Edwardian cartoons from Punch magazine by E T Reed

Increasing Locomobility of the Pedestrian. Bless you, we are an adaptable race. With a little more practise we shall soon be able to nip out of the way of the moneyed classes in their "destroyers" with the agility of the grasshopper and the prehensile skill of the forest ape. After all they don't WISH to kill us, and we can't expect them to play "bridge" ALL the time. (an Edwardian cartoon shows a street scene of pedestrians escaping motorcars in a Smell-Proof Shelter For Pedestrians, cyclists into a Temporary Sanctuary For Cyclists and a boy onto a stone Refuge for 1 Schoolboy)
