EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Drinking by an Austin 7 on the Middle Eastern Beach,' captures the essence of a leisurely excursion abroad in the early 20th century. Taken by renowned British photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts, the image depicts two well-dressed gentlemen enjoying a bottle of champagne in front of an Austin 7 car on a sun-kissed Middle Eastern beach. The gentleman on the left wears a full-length swimming costume, suggesting they have just finished a refreshing dip in the sea. The Austin 7, a small and popular British car during the interwar period, adds a touch of historical charm to the scene. The diplomatic setting of the photograph is further emphasized by the presence of a staff member, who stands nearby, holding a tray of glasses and a bottle of champagne. The gentlemen's relaxed demeanor and the picturesque backdrop of the sea and sand create an atmosphere of luxury and indulgence. The Austin 7 was a symbol of motoring freedom and adventure during this era, and this photograph captures the spirit of a carefree and enjoyable road trip abroad. The image is a testament to the allure of travel and the simple pleasures of life, and it transports us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement.
