EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a 1917 Royal Enfield with sidecar specially designed for military use during the First World War. The creator of this extraordinary machine remains unknown, but their ingenuity and craftsmanship are evident in every detail. Amidst the backdrop of the early 20th century, this vintage motorcycle stands as a symbol of both innovation and necessity. As women played an increasingly important role in society during this time, it is intriguing to note that a female figure is seated confidently in the sidecar. This image offers us a glimpse into the evolving social dynamics of that era. The motorbike itself exudes strength and resilience, reflecting its purpose as an essential mode of transport for soldiers on the front lines. Its sturdy frame and robust tires suggest reliability even amidst challenging wartime conditions. Preserved within the National Motor Museum's collection, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past. It invites us to reflect upon not only technological advancements but also on those who served bravely during times of conflict. As we delve into history through images like these, we are reminded that there is so much more than meets the eye – stories untold waiting to be discovered within each frame captured by unknown creators.
