EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration depicts a pivotal moment in automotive history: the first motor-car driven in England, around 1894. The dashing figure behind the wheel is Harry Hewetson, a pioneering figure in the early days of motorized transportation in the UK. He is at the helm of a 3hp Benz Victoria Phaeton, an import from Germany that revolutionized the way people traveled. The scene is set in the bustling streets of England, with onlookers gathered to witness this extraordinary event. A young boy, no more than 11 or 12 years old, stands in front of the car, waving a tiny red flag. This was a requirement at the time for all early motor vehicles, as a warning to horses and pedestrians of the approaching automobile. The image, believed to have been published in 1906, is a fascinating glimpse into the past. It captures the excitement and curiosity that surrounded the advent of the motorcar in England. Harry Hewetson's groundbreaking drive marked the beginning of a new era in transportation, paving the way for the widespread adoption of automobiles in the years to come. This historical illustration is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of early automotive pioneers like Harry Hewetson. It serves as a reminder of the transformative impact that the motorcar had on society and the world, forever changing the way we travel and connect with one another.
