EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and innovation during the Edwardian era, as two intrepid gentlemen explore the picturesque countryside of Pembrokeshire, South Wales on their motor cycles. The man on the right, a member of the distinguished Philipps family of Picton Castle, rides a powerful Triumph Imperial, its sleek lines and impressive engine a testament to the technological advancements of the time. His cap and goggles are protective measures against the wind and flying debris, while the horn on the handlebars allows for communication with other road users. The man on the left, clad in a flat cap and peaked cap, rides a Raleigh motor cycle, a more modest but reliable machine with the registration number DE82. Both bikes, propped up on blocks to prevent wobbling during the one-second exposure time of the camera, are a fascinating glimpse into the past, when motor transport was a new and exciting frontier. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a unique perspective on the lives of these Edwardian riders, their love for motor cycles, and their sense of freedom and excitement as they traversed the rugged terrain of Pembrokeshire. The registration numbers DE46 and DE82 add an intriguing layer of detail to the story of these two men and their machines, making this a truly captivating historical image.
