EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, published in the esteemed Tatler magazine on the 10th of November, 1909, showcases a Swan and Edgar delivery van, a pioneering mode of transportation during the Edwardian era. The van, adorned with the Swan and Edgar logo, is a testament to the advancements in automobile technology during this period. The primary focus of this image, however, is the innovative Collier detachable rim, a groundbreaking development in the manufacture of tyres. The Collier rim, with its sleek design and detachable feature, revolutionized the way tyres were replaced, making vehicle maintenance more efficient and convenient. The Swan and Edgar delivery van, with its sturdy frame and the prominent Collier detachable rims, epitomizes the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early 1900s. The image, published in the Tatler, a leading society and fashion magazine of the time, underscores the growing importance of automobiles in everyday life and the role they played in shaping modern transportation systems. This photograph, a snapshot of history from the Illustrated London News Ltd. archives, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the technological advancements and societal trends of the Edwardian era.
