The Great Western Railway (Cartoon for Punch, February 18, 1898) February 18, 1898 Sir (Edward) Linley Sambourne British Sambourne here humorously contrasts modernity (the expansion of British railroads) with tradition (the River Thames used as the primary means of travel west of London). A bearded Father Thames stands amongst reeds but wears modern skulling gear and wields an oar. He is surrounded by water nymphs frightened by a steam engine looming over them on an embankment. The latter resembles a monster with rolling eyes and pronged couplers. The image cleverly responds to John William Waterhouse's "Hylas and the Nymphs" (1896), exhibited at the Royal Academy in the summer of 1897, with the lovely nudes whose long hair is entwined with flowers resembling those in the painting..
