Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Glidden: Adventurous Travelers in their 24hp Napier (1909) This photograph captures the spirit of adventure embodied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Glidden as they continue their extraordinary journey around the world in their trusty 24hp Napier automobile. Eight years have passed since they first embarked on their tour from the United States in 1901, and they have since covered an impressive 46,000 miles, making them among the most intrepid explorers of their time. In this image, the Gliddens are seen sitting in their Napier, but they are not on the open road. Instead, they are accompanied by a railway official as they prepare to board a train in America. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the couple's travels, which were not limited to roads and highways but also included railways and other forms of transportation. The Napier 24hp, a powerful and reliable vehicle for its time, served as their trusty companion throughout their adventures. The couple's son, who is not present in this photograph, often accompanied them on their travels, adding another layer to their family's remarkable story. Their journey took them to most countries in the world, and their exploits were widely reported in the press, inspiring countless others to embark on their own adventures. This photograph is a testament to their indomitable spirit and their passion for exploration, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of early automobile history.
