The Story of an Auto-Motor Car
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a bygone era, where motor vehicles were still a novelty and their capabilities were met with both excitement and trepidation. This engraving, created by William Ralston in 1896, takes us on a journey through time. In this scene, we witness a grand automobile navigating its way along a winding road. The driver, looking nervous yet determined at the steering wheel, guides the car with utmost care. A footman stands nearby, ready to assist if needed. The style of the car reflects the fashion of that era - elegant and sophisticated. However, as fate would have it, sickness befalls one of the passengers during this adventurous ride. With an ignominious motion sickness attack taking hold, our poor soul is quickly attended to by fellow travelers who act as good Samaritans in their ministrations. Despite this setback and delay caused by illness on board, our brave group perseveres. They find shelter near a brown bank while recovering from this nasty episode before resuming their journey. This engraving not only showcases early automobiles but also highlights the challenges faced in those pioneering days of transportation. It reminds us how far we've come since then and how much we owe to those who dared to venture into uncharted territory – all for progress's sake. "The Story of an Auto-Motor Car" serves as both an anecdote from history and a testament to human resilience in adapting to new technologies. It invites us to reflect upon our own journeys today and appreciate the ease with which we can traverse vast distances thanks to modern advancements in transport.
