EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the incredible feat of travelling 6500 miles in just forty-eight hours, all by car! Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. It serves as an illustration for the book "Further Heroes of Modern Adventure" written by T C Bridges and H Hessell Tiltman and published in 1936. The photograph showcases Captain G E T Eyston, who achieved this extraordinary record-breaking motor feat. His accomplishment not only won him honors but also solidified his place among the heroes of modern adventure. In an era when cars were still relatively new and unexplored territory, Eyston's journey stands as a testament to human determination and innovation. Transportation has always played a significant role in shaping our world, and this photo reminds us of the progress made throughout history. From humble beginnings to today's advanced automobiles, it is fascinating to see how far we have come. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to that time when Britain was at the forefront of automotive achievements. The British Isles became synonymous with groundbreaking feats like these, showcasing their rich culture and pioneering spirit. This photograph encapsulates not only a momentous event but also represents the spirit of adventure that drives us forward into unknown territories. It serves as inspiration for future generations to push boundaries and explore new horizons on their own journeys through life.
