EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sideways Body" by W.H. Robinson, captures the playful and humorous side of early motoring history. The image presents a sideways-mounted automobile body, with its wheels and undercarriage exposed, seemingly designed to deliberately obstruct and annoy those on the road. The caption reads, "There's no better way to annoy someone than to be constantly in their way," adding to the mischievous tone. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, showcases a man, believed to be J.C. Robinson, the estate owner, seated in the driver's seat, enjoying the amusing reaction of onlookers and fellow motorists. The discomfited expressions on their faces are a testament to the success of this unconventional automotive creation. The sideways body was likely a work of art and a source of entertainment for Robinson, who relished the idea of disrupting the monotony of the road. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lighter side of motoring history, where innovation and humor intertwined to create a unique and memorable driving experience. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a reminder of the pleasurable and sometimes whimsical aspects of early motoring. It invites us to appreciate the ingenuity and creativity of the past, while also highlighting the importance of maintaining a sense of humor in our daily lives."
