EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures the marvel of motor lorries equipped with caterpillar attachments, traversing a vast desert landscape. The image, created by Thomas William Holmes in the early twentieth century, showcases the ingenuity and progress of transportation during this era. The scene depicts a convoy of motor lorries fitted with caterpillar attachments instead of rear wheels, defying the challenging terrain as they make their way across the desert. The vibrant colors bring life to the arid surroundings, highlighting both the beauty and harshness of this unforgiving environment. This illustration was originally featured in "The Wonders of Speed" by Ellison Hawks, published in 1927 or earlier. It serves as a testament to human determination and innovation in overcoming geographical obstacles for travel and exploration. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of speed and rapidity. These pioneering vehicles paved the way for modern tank technology and revolutionized passenger transportation. Through its detailed lithography technique, this print transports us back to an era when journeys were more arduous but also filled with excitement and adventure. It is a visual reminder that progress knows no bounds when it comes to conquering new frontiers. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic mastery behind capturing such moments from our past.
