EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the limits of tilt were being tested on a London omnibus before it could be licensed for the road. Taken by an anonymous European photographer from the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the early days of motorized transport, with cars still in their infancy. It exudes excitement and glamour, as well as highlighting the romance associated with driving during that era. The testing process depicted here was crucial to ensure passenger safety and determine if these vehicles were suitable for public use. The London omnibus takes center stage in this image, its design reflecting the transportation modes of that time. This photo serves as an illustration for "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C Bridges and H Hessell Tiltman, published in 1933 by Harrap. The authors aimed to capture both the historical significance and allure surrounding automobiles. As we gaze at this photograph today, we are transported back to a time when automobiles were not just means of transport but symbols of progress and innovation. It reminds us how far we have come since then while also appreciating our rich motoring heritage.
