"HIGHLY ACCOMMODATING" is a satirical illustration by John Leech (1817-1864). The artwork depicts a humorous scene of three men, one of whom is seemingly squeezed in a cramped space with others in a carriage, likely on a train. Leech was known for his illustrations in Punch magazine, often commenting on social and political issues of his time, and this sketch, with its use of exaggerated features and awkward postures, captures a common experience on public transport.
