EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from The Motor Picture Book, titled "The Speed Merchant" captures the essence of 1930s motoring in the countryside. The image depicts a scene of rural life as a sleek car speeds down a dusty road, leaving a trail of green countryside behind. In the background, we see a police officer chasing after the speeding vehicle, highlighting the dangers of reckless driving.
As the car races past grazing cows and startled poultry, including geese and birds taking flight, it is clear that this driver has little regard for the peaceful surroundings. A dog can be seen running alongside the road, adding to the chaotic energy of this moment frozen in time.
The title "The Speed Merchant" suggests that this driver may have been known for their need for speed and daring maneuvers on the road. Despite being pursued by law enforcement, they continue to push their limits and put themselves at risk.
Overall, this image serves as a reminder of both the thrill and danger associated with early automobile travel. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when cars were still novel inventions and roads were not yet crowded with traffic.
