EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1935 showcases an advert for Stratstone car retailers, a prominent name in the British automobile industry. Known for supplying Daimler cars to none other than King George V and Queen Mary, Stratstone's reputation was built on their association with royalty. The image captures the essence of this historic connection as it features a majestic castle with imposing battlements in the background. The vibrant colors of the advertisement draw attention to a sleek Daimler car parked in front of the castle, symbolizing luxury and sophistication. A guardsman stands proudly beside the vehicle, representing both tradition and protection. This juxtaposition between modernity and heritage highlights how Stratstone successfully merged innovation with royal patronage. Transportation played a crucial role during this era marked by war and technological advancements. The presence of soldiers further emphasizes this point, reminding viewers that automobiles were not just symbols of status but also vital tools during times of conflict. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of Britain's thriving motor industry in the 1930s. This advert encapsulates an important moment when cars became more accessible to everyday people while still maintaining their allure among those at the pinnacle of society. Preserved through time by The Motor magazine, this print serves as a testament to Stratstone's legacy within British motoring history. It is an evocative reminder that even advertisements can hold immense historical value and provide us with glimpses into our past transportation culture.
