EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a dust-proof ash-truck navigating the bustling streets of Berlin in the 19th century. The image, taken by an esteemed European photographer, showcases a moment from history when motorized vehicles were still in their early stages. The ash-truck stands out with its unique design, featuring a body raised perpendicularly to accommodate large bins for emptying dust. This innovative solution ensured cleanliness on the city's streets while adding an element of glamour and excitement to the evolving world of motoring. The photo is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published in 1933. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past, capturing not only the vehicle itself but also providing insight into transportation methods during that era. Berlin's historical significance shines through this image, showcasing German culture and highlighting how it played a crucial role in shaping Europe's transport industry. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since then – from these early automobiles to modern cars that dominate our roads today. This photograph serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and progress while offering us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history within Europe's rich cultural tapestry.
