EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in British history - the last summons issued to a motorist for not being preceded by a man with a red flag. The year is 1896, and the location is Westminster, London. In an era when motor vehicles were still relatively new and unfamiliar, this peculiar law required motorists to be accompanied by a person carrying a red flag as they traveled through the streets. The image depicts a courtroom scene where justice is being served. The accused motorist stands before the judge, facing punishment for breaking this outdated regulation. It serves as a reminder of how far transportation has come since then. The illustration comes from "The Pageant of Transport Through the Ages" by W. H. Boulton, published in 1931. It offers us insight into early twentieth-century England and its evolving legal system. The presence of traffic policemen in the background highlights their growing role in maintaining order on the roads. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an intriguing chapter in Britain's journey towards modern transport systems. It reminds us of how laws have evolved over time to accommodate technological advancements while also shedding light on our collective fascination with history and its impact on society today.
