EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1923, we are transported back in time to the era of open-top automobiles and the essential role that motor goggles played in the daily lives of early motorists. The roaring twenties, a period of innovation and excitement, saw the automobile industry flourish, and with it, the demand for equipment that would enhance the driving experience. The scene before us showcases a dapper driver, donning a stylish fedora and a pair of leather motor goggles, ready to embark on a thrilling journey. The cars of the 1920s were often roofless and devoid of windscreens, making the open road an exhilarating yet challenging experience for drivers. Motor goggles, such as the ones worn by our subject, were a necessary part of their attire, protecting their eyes from the wind, dust, and debris that came with driving at high speeds. The goggles themselves are a marvel of engineering, with adjustable leather straps and tinted lenses that shielded the eyes from the harsh sunlight. The lenses were often interchangeable, allowing drivers to adapt to various weather conditions and lighting situations. The intricate detailing on the goggles, from the stitching to the metal accents, speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these essential pieces of equipment. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the romance and adventure that surrounded the early days of motoring. The open road, the wind in our hair, and the feeling of freedom that came with the roar of an engine – all made possible by the simple yet ingenious invention of motor goggles. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the human spirit, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the past.
