EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment from the Citroen expedition as one of their cars is being man-handled across the Ruaha river. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the determination and resourcefulness of early automobile enthusiasts. The photograph, now part of a private collection, was originally used to illustrate "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman in 1933. It transports us back to an era when driving was not just about practicality but also about excitement, glamour, and adventure. In this particular scene, we witness the challenges faced by these intrepid explorers as they navigate rough terrain with their Citroen vehicle. The sheer strength and teamwork required to manually move such heavy machinery across a river demonstrate both the limitations and ingenuity of early automobiles. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how far transportation has come since then. From humble beginnings like these Citroen cars to today's sleek models, it is fascinating to see how technology has evolved over time. This print serves as a testament to human perseverance and our unyielding desire for exploration. It encapsulates not only the history of motor vehicles but also the spirit that drives us forward on our own personal expeditions through life's rivers - no matter how challenging they may be.
