Belt Up: Thelwell's Motoring Manual

The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment. In this book, the artist turns his attention to a different form of horsepower – the internal combustion engine. Belt Up: Thelwell’s Motoring Manual depicts the delights and downfalls of driving, car ownership and life on the open road. First published in 1974, this collection of cartoons features driving lessons, road rage, accidents, technical terms, hazards, and the varying temperaments of men and women drivers. Prepare to travel back to an age before electric cars and discover Thelwell’s inimitable style and enduring appeal.
