EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the early 1910s, three luxurious cars and their proud chauffeurs are seen outside a garage. The cars, which represent the pinnacle of automotive innovation and design during this era, are a De Dietrich, a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, and a Darracq. The De Dietrich, a French make, is the oldest of the three, its elegant lines and ornate upholstery a testament to the craftsmanship of its time. The Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, with its distinctive radiator cap and imposing presence, is a symbol of wealth and status. The Darracq, with its distinctive Kent registration number, completes the trio. The two cars with Kent registration numbers are a nod to the Automobile Association (AA), a membership organization that provided roadside assistance and other services to motorists. The chauffeurs, dressed in their smart uniforms, exude an air of professionalism and competence. Their attentive gaze suggests that they are preparing their employers' vehicles for a long journey, adding to the sense of adventure and excitement that surrounded early automobile travel. The scene outside the garage is a snapshot of a bygone era, when cars were a symbol of luxury and status, and the open road beckoned to those with the means to explore it. The image is a reminder of the romance and allure of the early automobile age, and the role that cars and their dedicated chauffeurs played in shaping our modern world.
