EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Whimsical Escape: The Harem Saloon by W.H. Robinson (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library 2. In the early 20th century, automobiles were not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of wealth and status. For the eccentric and imaginative minds, they became a canvas for artistic expression. One such creation was the Harem Saloon, designed by W.H. Robinson, an Englishman known for his flair for the unusual. 3. This print captures the enchanting Harem Saloon, a car that was built to resemble a miniature Bagdad, complete with domes and minarets. The ornate design was not just an aesthetic choice but also a nod to the exotic allure of the Middle East, a popular theme during that era. 4. The Harem Saloon was not just a car; it was a mobile palace, fit for transporting the odd wife or two in style and luxury. The interior was equally impressive, with plush seating, intricate carvings, and rich fabrics that evoked the opulence of a harem. 5. The vehicle's unique design was a source of fascination and amusement, making it a popular attraction at motor shows and parades. It was a testament to Robinson's creativity and his ability to blend history, humor, and innovation in a single creation. 6. Today, the Harem Saloon remains an intriguing piece of automotive history, a reminder of a time when cars were more than just machines, but works of art that reflected the dreams and desires of their creators. 7. This print is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the whimsical world of W.H. Robinson and his extraordinary Harem Saloon.
