This evocative photograph captures the essence of learning to drive during a bygone era, as depicted in an image from the Correspondence Course of W.H. Robinson. The scene is set in the early 20th century, with the subject, a determined young man named Will I Am, engrossed in his studies while seated at a rickety wooden table. Surrounded by the tools of his trade - a lantern, a pile of books, and a quill pen - Will I Am is focused intently on the correspondence course materials spread out before him. The danger and excitement of the open road are palpable in the background, as a horse-drawn carriage and a motorcar approach a precarious-looking wooden bridge. The image underscores the risks and challenges that early motorists faced, as well as the importance of education and preparation in mastering the new and dangerous transport technology. The correspondence course, pioneered by W.H. Robinson, was a groundbreaking innovation that enabled people to learn the art of driving from the comfort of their own homes. The course provided students with comprehensive instruction on the rules of the road, driving techniques, and safety procedures, all delivered via a series of informative letters and instructional materials. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of transportation and education, offering a unique insight into the determination and perseverance required to learn a new skill during a time of great change. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the face of new challenges and technologies. Overall, this photograph is a captivating and evocative representation of a pivotal moment in transportation history, and a testament to the power of education and self-improvement.
