A. Hammerton is a collection of humorous essays and illustrations reflecting on the quirky and often chaotic world of early 20th-century motoring and cycling. It captures the evolving attitudes toward these newly popular modes of transport in a distinctly British manner, suggesting that it was likely written during the late 19th to early 20th century. The anthology features various characters and scenarios that highlight the misadventures and societal observations surrounding both cyclists and motorists. The opening of the work introduces readers to the lively atmosphere of motoring and cycling, as well as the satirical lens through which these activities are viewed. It sets the tone with quirky anecdotes that feature mishaps on the road, such as a motorist’s disastrous attempts at top-speed note-taking, and cleverly woven dialogues showcasing the characters’ humorous misunderstandings and societal quirks. Throughout this segment, the playful language and vivid illustrations serve to encapsulate the essence of the era's humor regarding the tumultuous relationship between humans and their machines.
