EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in automotive history - the first London to Brighton car run. In this iconic image, two Panhard cars stand proudly outside the Hotel Metropole in Brighton, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new automotive freedom. The significance of this particular run lies in its name - the Liberation or Emancipation run. It commemorates the repeal of a law that once required all motor vehicles to be preceded by a man walking with a red warning flag. This restriction had hindered progress and innovation in the automobile industry for years, but now, these two Panhard cars symbolize newfound liberation on wheels. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the excitement radiating from those involved. The sleek design of these early 20th-century vehicles hints at their potential for speed and adventure. One can only imagine how exhilarating it must have been for those pioneering drivers as they embarked on their journey from London to Brighton. Through this photograph's lens, we are transported back to a time when automobiles were still novel inventions, capturing both our fascination with technological advancements and our appreciation for historical milestones. It serves as a reminder that progress is not always instantaneous; sometimes it requires breaking free from outdated constraints to truly move forward into an exciting future filled with endless possibilities.
