EDITORS COMMENTS
"This illustration, dated October 23, 1926, from the Illustrated London News, showcases the universality of car ownership that was beginning to take shape during this era. The image features a large Austin car and a smaller Austin model parked side by side, symbolizing the accessibility of automobiles to a broader range of income levels. By this time, the production of smaller, more affordable cars, such as the one on the left, was making car ownership an attainable goal for those with lower incomes. The Austin Motor Company, a significant player in the automotive industry during the 1920s, was instrumental in making cars more accessible to the masses. This historical illustration, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, when the automobile was becoming an essential part of everyday life for many people." The universality of car ownership was a significant development during the 1920s, as cars were no longer a luxury item for the wealthy but were increasingly becoming a necessity for the average family. The production of smaller, more affordable cars, like the one depicted on the left, played a crucial role in making car ownership accessible to a larger population. This illustration, which was published in the Illustrated London News on October 23, 1926, is an intriguing reminder of the historical significance of this period in automotive history. The Austin Motor Company, which produced both the large and small cars shown in the image, was a key player in making cars more accessible to the masses, and this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past when the automobile was transforming the way people lived, worked, and traveled.
