EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a humorous scene from the early 1900s, depicting a snowbound motorist in a sticky situation. The image is taken from an old book of rules of the road published around 1905 and showcases the artwork by Charles Crombie. In this comical illustration, we see a constable standing beside a stranded driver who has gotten his car stuck in the snow. The caption on the image reads "Identification of. . . Cars. Illegible Number". According to Section 2- (4) of an unspecified act, if any identifying mark on a vehicle is obscured, it becomes an offense under that law. The cartoon-like drawing portrays both frustration and humor as the driver desperately tries to free his trapped automobile while wearing goggles for protection against flying snowflakes. Meanwhile, the policeman looks on with amusement mixed with authority. Notably, there is also an advertisement for Perrier water cleverly incorporated into this artwork; however, commercial use should not be mentioned here. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into motoring culture during wintertime in days gone by. It serves as a reminder that even back then people faced challenges on snowy roads but found ways to inject humor into their predicaments.
