EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph by Gilbert Holiday captures the spirit of transformation and progression in the early days of motoring. The image, taken in 1928, depicts a traditional horse-drawn carriage carrying passengers to the prestigious Goodwood race meeting, as it is overtaken by a modern charabanc bus filled with excited visitors. The horse and its power, once the epitome of transportation, now seem dwarfed by the size and might of the motorized vehicle. The scene represents the intersection of old and new ways of travel, with the horse-drawn carriage symbolizing the past and the charabanc bus embodying the future. The image also speaks to the allure and excitement of the horse racing season, as well as the growing popularity of motorized vehicles in society. The passengers in the carriage appear to be dressed in their finest attire, adding to the sense of occasion and grandeur. Meanwhile, the charabanc, with its numerous passengers, represents the democratization of travel, making it accessible to a wider audience. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, as well as a testament to the inexorable march of progress. It invites us to reflect on the ways in which transportation has evolved over the decades, and the role it plays in shaping our lives and experiences.
