EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we are transported back in time to a Shell Petrol Station in Lund, Scania, Sweden, in the year 1958. The image captures the essence of a bygone era in the motor industry, a time when filling stations were more than just places to refuel. The scene is set by the pristine Shell logo, proudly displayed on the red and white striped building, with its iconic turtle mascot, "Mormor Sköllan," peering out from the sign. The station's attendant, dressed in a crisp uniform, stands ready to assist customers with a friendly smile. He is poised next to a gleaming Shell petrol pump, its handle adorned with the familiar red and white disc, as he checks the fuel gauge of a car that has just pulled up. The photograph is filled with a sense of calm and order, as other cars are neatly parked in rows, their engines turned off, waiting their turn for refueling. The station's forecourt is immaculately maintained, with freshly swept gravel and neatly trimmed hedges. In the background, a few trees provide a splash of green against the monochrome palette. The Shell Petrol Station in Lund, Scania, was a symbol of progress and modernity in the 1950s. Filling stations like this one were essential infrastructure for the growing number of car owners, providing not only fuel but also essential services such as oil changes, tire rotations, and windshield wiper blade replacements. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when a visit to the filling station was a social occasion, and the simple act of refueling was an opportunity to connect with others and enjoy a moment of respite on the road. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of the motor industry and the evolution of fueling stations from humble beginnings to the sophisticated, self-service facilities we know today. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical images that capture the essence of a bygone era.
