The Starting Point of Morris Motors - A Glimpse into Automotive History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1912, capturing a significant moment in British automotive history. The image showcases the Oxford Garage in Oxford, England, where an ambitious young man named William Morris embarked on his journey as a motor manufacturer and philanthropist. In this humble setting, surrounded by bicycles and cars awaiting repair, we witness the birthplace of what would eventually become one of Britain's most iconic automobile companies. The garage stands as a testament to Morris' determination and entrepreneurial spirit. As we delve deeper into the photograph's details, it becomes evident that this snapshot is not just about buildings and machinery; it is about people. Amongst them is Henry E. White, who played an instrumental role alongside Sir William Morris himself in shaping the future of their enterprise. The image exudes a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead – a vision that would transform not only the automotive industry but also countless lives through job creation and philanthropic endeavors. It serves as a reminder that every great endeavor has its starting point – often hidden within unassuming structures like this very garage. Preserved by The Print Collector from "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933, this remarkable photograph allows us to step back in time and appreciate how far we have come since those early days at The Starting Point of Morris Motors.
