Photo taken by John Sutters on his honeymoon.

A bit late for the Vintage Photo Theme Park - Taking a trip..... theme, but I only just came across this delightful scene. Clearly they weren't expecting much traffic on this road. I think that that must be a photographer's tripod leaning against the luggage trunk. I have identified the make and model, as a Morris Cowley, from that trunk and the 'artillery' style wheels, as well as the layout of the doors and windows. I have only guessed at the year. Emma was a relative of Walter Pritchard and this may well have been his car, although we have pictures of Em & Ethel using it, Walter was the likely photographer - one photo actually has his name embossed into it. In this photo it is probably him in the driver's seat, although that begs the question who was the photographer.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park Group. This comes from a book from the inter-war period, extolling the virtues of the use of electricity in the home and the garage. It was clearly aimed at women and sees them as a major force in the modernisation of daily life, emphasizing the labour and time-saving qualities of electrical applicances. As one would expect there are a number of photos of other appliances in the book.Some are photos and others are graphic illustrations, including advertisements for appliances and services.
