EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in the history of transportation - The Automobile Club of Great Britain. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the prestigious society's gathering at Strawberry Hill Mansion on July 13th. Amongst the distinguished guests present were the Duchess of Somerset, Mr. Herbert de Stern, Mr. Claude Johnson, and Mr. Frank H Butler. The image depicts a scene filled with excitement and anticipation as members gather around their automobiles, including Benz and Daimler models. This snapshot from a bygone era provides us with a glimpse into London's high society events where cars were still considered novel inventions. Transportation has always been an essential aspect of human progress, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates that notion. It serves as a testament to how far we have come since then in terms of passenger transportation and means of transport. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also acknowledge the role photography plays in preserving our past for future generations to learn from and be inspired by.
