Robinson" This charming photograph captures the essence of vintage motoring, featuring W.H. Robinson, the beloved character known as "The Motorist's Companion." Dressed in a dapper suit and holding a cane, Robinson strikes a pose next to his car, showcasing his essential toolkit. The Motorist's Companion was a Swiss Army knife of usefulness for early 20th-century motorists. In this image, Robinson's toolkit includes a small hammer, perfect for tapping a bent crankshaft back into shape, and a cigarette holder. With a hint of humor, the image highlights the challenges and necessities of maintaining a car during this era. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of the spirit of self-reliance and resourcefulness that characterized early motoring. Car owners had to be skilled in various forms of maintenance and repairs, making tools like The Motorist's Companion indispensable. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the adventures and challenges that came with owning and operating a car during the early days of automobile history. The image of W.H. Robinson, with his toolkit and cigarette holder, serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and humor that accompanied the development of the automobile industry. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage motoring and the indomitable spirit of the motorist.
