EDITORS COMMENTS
Who Wishes for a Motor-Car?", a captivating scene from the winter of 1899 in Victorian Britain, as depicted in this evocative illustration from the Christmas Number. In the foreground, the simple charm of cycling prevails, with two intrepid riders on a tandem, their faces masked by thick scarves against the biting cold. Behind them, a typical motor car of the era makes its presence felt, its passengers bundled up in warm clothing, seemingly intrigued by the novelty of motorized travel. As we delve deeper into the image, a motor-driven van and a solitary bicycle with four riders can be discerned in the background. The van, an important means of transportation during this period, stands out against the pristine snow, while the cyclists, undeterred by the wintry conditions, continue their journey, their determination evident. The original caption for this image, a two-verse poem entitled "Who Wants a motor-car?" adds an additional layer of intrigue, inviting us to ponder the allure of motorized transport versus the traditional bicycle. This snapshot of history, published in the Christmas Number of a bygone era, transports us back to a time when the world was on the cusp of a technological revolution. This evocative image, with its blend of Victorian elegance, winter wonderland, and the dawn of a new age, is a must-have for any history or transportation enthusiast, providing a unique glimpse into the past.
