EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in time - the Motor-Car Demonstrations by the Automobile Club, as they start from Whitehall Court. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the early days of automobiles and their impact on society. Intriguingly, this image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 15,1901. It offers a glimpse into a world where motor vehicles were still a novelty and their potential was yet to be fully realized. The scene is set against the backdrop of Whitehall Court in London, with Sheen House visible in the distance. A fleet of motor cars can be seen lined up, ready to embark on their journey. Amongst them are distinguished members of society including the Chairman and Duke of Northumberland. This photograph not only documents an important event but also serves as a testament to human progress and innovation. It captures both the excitement surrounding these new machines and hints at how they would soon revolutionize transportation forever. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece allows us to travel back in time and witness firsthand one of the earliest demonstrations of motor cars. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of our relentless pursuit for advancement and discovery.
