EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of early motoring in the 19th century. The serpentine roadway, winding its way through a picturesque landscape, evokes a sense of adventure and excitement that was synonymous with the emerging world of automobiles. The image is an illustration from "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published in 1933. It showcases the ingenuity and skill of civil engineer Harry Rocks, who designed this remarkable road. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can almost feel the thrill experienced by those early motorists as they navigated their cars along this meandering path. The glamour associated with driving during that era is palpable - it was not just a means of transport but also a symbol of status and freedom. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology while also highlighting our enduring fascination with cars. It transports us back to a time when roads were less crowded, journeys were filled with anticipation, and every turn held new discoveries. Intriguingly captured by an unknown European photographer, this image offers us a glimpse into the past - an era where motorcars were still novel inventions paving their way across America's vast landscapes.
