EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the roaring engines and daring exploits of the open road, this 1929 photograph captures the essence of a bygone era. The Bolt from the Blue, a red open-top roadster, speeds down the deserted highway, its headlights cutting through the inky darkness. Inside, a young and daring couple, lost in the thrill of their moment, fail to notice the determined figure of a police officer waving them down for speeding. With a mischievous grin and unyielding focus on each other, they continue their reckless pursuit of freedom and adventure. The 1920s, a decade of rebellion and self-expression, saw the automobile become a symbol of liberation and the open road a metaphor for the limitless possibilities of life. The Bolt from the Blue, with its sleek design and powerful engine, embodied the spirit of this era, urging its passengers to defy convention and embrace the thrill of the unknown. Despite the danger lurking just ahead, the couple remains oblivious to the world around them, their love and passion fueling their escape. The police officer, a stoic figure in the background, stands as a reminder of the rules and regulations that society imposes, but the couple's disregard for them only adds to their allure. This image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a time when the thrill of the open road and the intoxicating pull of love were all that mattered. A time when the world was a playground for the daring and the bold, and the only limit was the speed of your car.
