EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling Scottish reliability trials that took place in June 1909. The image, taken by a European photographer from the 19th century, showcases a moment of intense excitement and glamour in early motoring history. The scene depicts a competitor skillfully negotiating Amulree Hill, one of the challenging sections of the trials. The driver's determination is palpable as they navigate their automobile through this demanding terrain. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the romance and adventure associated with early car races. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published in 1933. It has since become part of a private collection but remains an invaluable piece of historical documentation. Looking at this image transports us back to a time when automobiles were still relatively new inventions, representing not only a means of transport but also symbols of progress and freedom. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and transportation. Whether you are interested in cars or simply fascinated by history, this print offers a glimpse into the past while celebrating the spirit of competition and innovation that continues to drive us forward today.
