Lot 89
Emett (Rowland). A model of a train, comprising an antiquated engine called Nellie, her driver, tender, and two carriages, each with a single occupant, c.1951, constructed of colour-printed card, approx. 150 x 340 mm (6 x 13.5 ins), contained in later cardboard box with clear plastic front. Frederick Rowland Emett, OBE (1906-1990), was an English cartoonist and constructor of whimsical kinetic sculpture, who studied at Birmingham School of Arts and Crafts. His first cartoons appeared in Punch in 1939 and it was here that his strange, spindly locomotives made their first appearance. In 1951, at the Festival of Britain, his most famous steam locomotive, Nellie, was made into a copper and mahogany kinetic sculpture and was one of the festivals most popular attractions. Presumably this model of Emett's sculpture was issued in kit form for assembling at home. In 1991 the original hand-drawn prototype for our version of Nellie was sold at Sotheby's. After the Festival of Britain Emett turned increasingly to designing, but not always building, what he called his 'things', always with silly names such as "The Featherstone-Kite Openwork Basketweave Mark Two Gentlemans Flying Machine". In the mid-1960s he was commissioned to create a mechanical computer, which he named the "The Forget-Me-Not Computer." In 1968 he designed the eponymous car and machines for the film 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'. In 1973 his water-powered musical clock, "The Aqua Horological Tintinnabulator", was installed on the lower floor of the Victoria Centre, Nottingham, where it can still be seen in full working order. His larger works went on extended tours, ending up in prestigious venues such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The Ontario Science Centre in Toronto has a collection of about ten Rowland Emett creations and every December it displays the restored, working pieces, usually under the title "Dream Machines". (1)
