EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from around 1913 showcases a stunning Sunbeam Landaulet motor car, elegantly painted in French grey and blue. The powerful 16/20hp engine exudes sophistication and style, making it a true gem of its time. Registered on the 19th of May in 1913 with the plate number AF1061, this particular beauty belonged to W. C Stephens, residing at Endsleigh in Roskear, Camborne. The focal point of this enchanting image is undoubtedly the young girl seated confidently behind the wheel. Her youthful spirit juxtaposed against the timeless elegance of the vehicle creates an intriguing contrast that captures our imagination. With her hands firmly gripping the steering wheel and a mischievous smile adorning her face, she embodies both independence and adventure. Unfortunately, details about the photographer or location remain unknown; however, their absence only adds to the air of mystery surrounding this remarkable photograph. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum for generations to come, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where automobiles were still considered novel marvels. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece today, we are transported back in time to witness not just an exquisite automobile but also a moment frozen forever – one that encapsulates joyous freedom and endless possibilities on open roads bathed in sunlight.
