EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the year is 1909, and an elegant vintage car is being carefully loaded onto a ship at Boulogne. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing history is undeniable. The scene unfolds on the bustling dock, where dockers clad in fashionable attire work diligently to lift the automobile with the help of a towering crane. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century transportation and social history, showcasing how cars were transported across bodies of water during that era. The location itself adds another layer of intrigue to this photograph. Boulogne-sur-Mer in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France was not only a popular holiday destination but also served as an important port city. It's fascinating to imagine the excitement surrounding this particular voyage - perhaps it marked the beginning of an adventurous vacation or even relocation to distant shores. As we admire this vintage gem from our present-day perspective, we can't help but appreciate its timeless appeal. The unknown photographer has captured not just an automobile being lifted onto a ship but also evoked feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about bygone eras. This print now finds its place within the National Motor Museum collection, preserving both its historical significance and artistic merit for generations to come.
