EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Modesty on Wheels: W.H. Robinson's Innovative Bathing Car for the Shy and Unconventional" (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library In the early 20th century, the British seaside was a popular destination for escaping the hustle and bustle of urban life. However, for those who held no illusions about their physique and were reluctant to display it in a bathing suit, the experience could be less than enjoyable. Enter W.H. Robinson, an ingenious inventor from the Isle of Wight, who came up with a solution to this common dilemma: the bathing car. This photograph captures the unique design of Robinson's bathing car, featuring a collapsible canvas tunnel attached to the back. The shyest and most oddly shaped individuals could creep down the tunnel before making their final dash into the sea, ensuring their privacy and modesty. The car, which was fitted with a bath, heater, and even a small kitchenette, allowed its occupants to change and bathe in comfort and seclusion. The bathing car, known as the "Will I Am," was a hit among the British public, particularly those who appreciated its humorous take on the conventional bathing experience. With its distinctive appearance and practical features, the Will I Am became a symbol of the quirky and inventive spirit of the era. As we look at this photograph, we can't help but be amused by the ingenuity of W.H. Robinson and the unique solution he provided for those who wanted to enjoy the sea without feeling self-conscious. The Will I Am is a testament to the history of transport and the creative ways in which people have adapted to their surroundings to make the most of their experiences.
