Happy Hours Transfers: A Vintage Glimpse into Motor Traffic of the Late 1930s This image showcases the front and back covers of Happy Hours Transfers, No. 4 in a series of Transfer Albums published by Raphael Tuck and Sons, circa 1938. The album's title, "Happy Hours," suggests a collection of lighthearted and enjoyable scenes, while the focus on motor traffic indicates a growing fascination with the modern automobile and its role in everyday life. The front cover features a lively scene of motorists transferring fuel at a busy petrol station. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw the viewer in, with the red petrol pump and the blue uniforms of the attendant and customers creating a striking contrast. The sense of movement and activity is further emphasized by the blurred motion lines, suggesting the hustle and bustle of a bustling roadside stop. The back cover offers a more serene contrast, featuring a charming scene of a motorcycle and sidecar parked in a picturesque English countryside setting. The idyllic scene, with its rolling hills and quaint stone cottages, serves as a delightful counterpoint to the bustling energy of the front cover. The intricate detail and attention to detail in both images attest to the high-quality production values of Raphael Tuck and Sons' Transfer Albums. These vintage transfer prints offer a fascinating glimpse into the motor traffic of the late 1930s, providing a captivating window into a bygone era. Whether used as decorative pieces or as conversation starters, these transfer prints continue to captivate and delight collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
