EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous photograph print, titled "Motorists at Brooklands by The Tout," captures the spirit of the early motoring era in Britain. Dated 1914, the image features a group of prominent figures in the motoring world, who were all famously trapped by "The Tout" at the renowned Brooklands racing circuit. The Tout, a caricaturist, skillfully depicted each man in a humorous and exaggerated style, adding a touch of whimsy to the historic moment. From left to right, we see Julian Orde, Jimmy Percy, Edward Manville, Harvey du Cros (founder of Dunlop tyres), Mr Joynson-Hicks, Mr D Arcy Baker, Charles Jarrott, A Stanley, Colonel Holden, Lord Montagu, Major Lindsay Lloyd, Rees Jeffreys, Gordon Watney, John Macdonald, s F Edge, Frank Shortland, and Mr Wilson. These men were all key figures in the motoring world, and their inclusion in The Tout's caricature speaks to their influence and popularity during this time. Brooklands was a significant racing circuit in the early 20th century, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the men who shaped the motoring industry during this period. The image is a testament to the passion and enthusiasm that defined the early days of automobile transportation, and it remains an intriguing piece of motoring history.
