Bell Garage Heath Humor Robinson Width Will I Am

EDITORS COMMENTS
(c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library This charming photograph captures the moment of determination and innovation during the early days of automobile history. The image features W.H. Robinson, a man with a mission to ensure the new car he has acquired will fit comfortably into his garage. With a bell attached to a piece of string and the aid of two posts, Robinson conducts a simple yet effective test to measure the width of his latest acquisition. The scene is set in a quaint, English backyard, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground. Robinson, dressed in a smart suit and hat, stands confidently next to the car, his expression a mix of concentration and amusement. The car, a classic model from the early 1900s, is parked squarely between the two posts, its wheels slightly touching them. The bell hanging from the string is poised, ready to ring if the car passes the test. This humorous and historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the past when car ownership was a new and exciting experience. It also highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of people during that era, who found creative ways to solve everyday problems. The photograph is a testament to the evolution of automobiles and the importance of garage space in the lives of car owners. The image, taken by renowned photographers Pollinger Ltd, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical motoring memorabilia. It is a reminder of the simple joys and challenges of owning a car during a time when technology was advancing at a rapid pace. This photograph is not only a piece of history but also a source of inspiration and amusement, inviting us to appreciate the ingenuity and humor of the past.
