EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1912, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and charm of a Buick motor car carrying four male passengers. The vintage vehicle stands proudly, its number plate partially visible, as a symbol of automotive innovation during that era. The gentlemen seated inside exude an air of sophistication and adventure, their attire reflecting the fashion trends of the early 20th century. With their hats donned stylishly and suits impeccably tailored, they embody a sense of refinement that was characteristic of the time. One striking detail is the presence of a Union Jack flag gracefully fluttering on the bonnet (hood) of the car. This patriotic display hints at national pride or perhaps an occasion worth celebrating. Captured by an unknown photographer whose identity remains shrouded in mystery, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history through both its subjects and their mode of transportation. It serves as a testament to how automobiles were transforming society at large during this period. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this image invites us to imagine what life was like for these individuals who embarked on journeys with such style and grace. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by the allure and nostalgia it evokes—a reminder that even after all these years, some stories still remain untold.
