EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Roller flattening a road surface" takes us back to the early twentieth century, specifically the 1920s or 1930s. The image showcases an English School's illustration from By the Way, c1930, depicting a roller smoothing out a road surface with vibrant colors brought to life through lithography. In this snapshot of history, we witness a driver operating the roller as they navigate along a path. The presence of a female chauffeur adds an intriguing element of gender diversity and challenges traditional norms associated with motor vehicle drivers during that era. The artwork not only captures the essence of transportation but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of road infrastructure and development. It offers us insight into the means of transport available at that time and highlights its significance for travelers embarking on their journeys. The use of color in this lithograph enhances its historical value by providing visual context and evoking emotions associated with travel and exploration. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that it is more than just an illustration; it represents our collective past and invites us to reflect on our progress over time. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic merit and historical importance encapsulated within its frame. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity while reminding us never to forget our roots in shaping today's world.
