EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1923 showcases a standard car that triumphantly claimed the first prize for its exquisitely decorated motor. Adorned with an enchanting array of sweet peas and rambler roses, this vehicle stands as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of its creator, possibly W. Robinson. The license plate number AF69 proudly adorns the front, adding a touch of individuality to this remarkable automobile. The exact location where this photograph was taken remains unknown, but what is clear is the sense of pride emanating from both the car and its owner. This snapshot captures a moment in time when transportation became more than just a means to get from point A to B; it transformed into an art form that delighted not only its occupants but also those who had the privilege of witnessing such beauty on wheels. Intriguingly, amidst Cornwall's stunning landscapes and picturesque towns, public competitions like these brought people together in celebration of innovation and style. It allowed individuals to showcase their creative prowess while fostering community spirit among participants and spectators alike. Preserved by photographer Arthur William Jordan, this print serves as a window into history—a reminder that even in times gone by, human ingenuity knew no bounds when it came to transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art.
