Driver doubt / W H Robinson

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, we see a moment of uncertainty and communication between a driver and a point-duty policeman, captured by renowned British photographer W.H. Robinson. The image, taken in the early 20th century, depicts a driver approaching a policeman standing at the side of the road, both with expressions of concentration and doubt. The innovative solution the driver has employed to navigate the ambiguity of the policeman's hand gestures is a large question mark, attached to the front of his car. This clever and humorous device, made of solid tin or weatherproofed mahogany, allows the officer to repeat or clarify his directions, ensuring that the driver is not left guessing. This historical image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, when the intricacies of motoring and the importance of clear communication between drivers and law enforcement were of paramount importance. The use of a question mark as a means of seeking clarification adds a touch of whimsy and ingenuity to the scene, making it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage transportation photography.
