EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1947, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and sophistication of an era long gone. Standing proudly beside a magnificent four-door Saloon car, a man dressed impeccably in a chauffeur's uniform exudes an air of professionalism and refinement. The Austin automobile, with its sleek design and classic spokes on its wheels, serves as a symbol of luxury and status. The image captures the essence of an era when chauffeurs were highly regarded for their skills behind the wheel and their ability to cater to the needs of their distinguished passengers. The cap worn by the driver adds a touch of formality to his attire, emphasizing his role as not just a mere driver but also as someone responsible for ensuring comfort and safety during every journey. This remarkable photograph is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It offers us a glimpse into history, reminding us that even mundane tasks like transportation were once carried out with grace and style. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such elegant automobiles while acknowledging the dedication and expertise required by those who operated them
