EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating snapshot of an English touring motorcyclist, circa 1909, taking a much-needed break at Dojran, a picturesque city nestled on the western shore of Lake Dojran in the southeastern part of North Macedonia. The intrepid traveler, dressed in heavy leather gear and goggles, stands beside his motorcycle, its tires caked with mud from the rutted and challenging road leading to this serene destination. Dojran, a city steeped in history and natural beauty, is situated on the border between North Macedonia and Greece. The lake, shared by both countries, is a popular tourist attraction, known for its therapeutic mud and mineral waters. In the early 1900s, however, the area was a far cry from the modern tourist infrastructure we know today. The motorcyclist's journey through the rugged terrain would have been arduous and filled with adventure. The narrow, muddy streets and ruts in the road would have tested both his skill and determination. Yet, the sight of the tranquil lake and the promise of rest and relaxation would have made the effort worthwhile. This evocative image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when motorcycling was a daring and thrilling pursuit. The motorcyclist's weary yet determined expression and the mud-splattered motorcycle are testament to the spirit of adventure that drove early travelers to explore the world on two wheels. This photograph is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a fascinating reminder of the past and the spirit of exploration that continues to inspire motorcyclists to this day.
