EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bygone era, specifically the 11th of November in 1913. The image showcases a simple yet powerful sign that reads "Too Steep for Motors" strategically placed near Cranleigh, Middlesex in England. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when road conditions were vastly different from what we experience today. The landscape depicted is serene and untouched by modern infrastructure. The absence of any vehicles on the road allows us to truly appreciate the significance of this warning sign. It serves as a reminder of how far transportation has come since then, highlighting the challenges people faced when navigating steep terrains with early motorized vehicles. The monochromatic format adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the photograph, emphasizing its historical value. Every detail captured within the frame - from the markings on the road to the box-like structure nearby - invites us to explore further into this moment frozen in time. As we reflect upon this intriguing piece from Hulton Archive's collection at Fine Art Storehouse, it sparks curiosity about our ancestors' experiences on these treacherous roads. This print is not just an artistic representation; it holds within it stories untold and whispers secrets only those who lived during that era can fully comprehend.
