EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the rich tradition and antique charm of Britain's lifestyle. In the foreground, we see Jeffrey Herbert seated proudly in his 1904 Peugeot swing-seat tonneau, exuding an air of elegance and nostalgia. As he drives along Westminster Bridge, with the iconic Houses of Parliament as a backdrop, Herbert is overtaken by a bustling taxi on this historic day - November 2nd, 2014. The scene depicted here is part of the renowned London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, an event that dates back to 1896 when it was established to celebrate the Locomotives on the Highway Act. Today, only vehicles built before January 1st, 1905 are eligible to participate in this annual run. Hundreds of participants embark on this journey from London to Brighton at an average speed of around 20 mph. Photographer Justin Tallis skillfully captures not just a snapshot but also transports us back in time through his lens. The sepia tones evoke a sense of nostalgia and highlight the enduring beauty found within these vintage automobiles. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity and technological advancements, there will always be those who hold dear their connection to history and heritage.
