EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Road Hog's Arrogance: A Donkey Rider's Unexpected Encounter with an Angry Motorist in 1910s Hungary" In this vintage postcard from Hungary, circa 1917, a heated moment of road rage unfolds between a motorist and a donkey rider. The comic illustration captures the essence of the era's carefree spirit, while also highlighting the growing tension between the old world and the new. The motorist, portrayed as a "road hog," is shown making an insulting gesture to the donkey rider, who seems to have inadvertently slowed down the motorist's progress. The donkey, with a look of surprise and annoyance, appears to be unaware of the danger lurking behind. The motorist's arrogant demeanor and superior attitude are evident in his posture and the dismissive gesture he makes towards the rider. The scene takes place on a bustling Hungarian street, where the sounds of clattering hooves and roaring engines fill the air. The motorist's temper is evident in the set of his jaw and the furrowed brow, while the donkey rider's expression is one of confusion and perhaps even amusement. Despite the potential danger, the donkey rider seems unperturbed, perhaps used to such encounters on the road. The motorist, in his haste and anger, may have overlooked the fact that the donkey and rider were simply trying to make their way through the crowded streets. This comic postcard offers a glimpse into the past, when the simple pleasures of rural life collided with the roaring engines of the modern world. It also highlights the human tendency towards arrogance and superiority, even in the most unexpected of situations. Overall, this postcard is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, and a reminder of the complex and often humorous interactions between people and animals on the roads of Hungary over a century ago.
