EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1910s, a grand Renault automobile is proudly displayed at Keepings Garage in New Milton, Hampshire. The car, adorned with an abundance of patriotic decorations, is a testament to the excitement and jubilation surrounding the upcoming Coronation of King George V in 1911. The open-top Renault, with its sleek lines and powerful presence, is the epitome of early 20th-century automotive elegance. The vehicle's body is bedecked with an array of flags, including the Union Jack, proudly waving in the breeze. Antlers, a symbol of nobility and strength, are mounted on the front and rear of the car, adding to its regal appearance. A smartly-dressed chauffeur stands beside the vehicle, his peaked cap adorned with the same patriotic insignia as the car. He exudes an air of pride and professionalism, ready to take the king's representatives on a grand tour of the picturesque Hampshire countryside. The garage sign in the background, with its bold lettering and ornate design, further emphasizes the sense of occasion. The scene is one of celebration and anticipation, as the people of New Milton gather to witness the spectacle of the decorated Renault, a symbol of British patriotism and progress in the early 1910s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when automobiles were a symbol of luxury and status, and the Coronation of a new monarch was a cause for great national celebration.
