EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the 1897 Lady Godiva show at Coventry. The image, taken by an unknown creator, transports us back to a bygone era filled with charm and intrigue. In the foreground of the photograph stands a vintage automobile, symbolizing progress and modernity amidst the traditional setting of Coventry. A clown can be seen beside the car, adding an element of whimsy to this otherwise serious affair. The scene is set against the backdrop of Coventry Motette, its grandeur serving as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. Lady Godiva herself takes center stage in this spectacle, her presence commanding attention and admiration from all who witness her bravery. This promotional event held great significance for Coventry, showcasing its historical roots while embracing innovation in transportation. The print now resides within the National Motor Museum collection, preserving this iconic moment for future generations to appreciate. Despite being captured over a century ago, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of England's enduring traditions and how they intertwine with progress throughout history. It serves as both a window into our past and an inspiration for our future endeavors in transport and culture alike.
