A wonderful, rare and early 1909 watercolour painting from the pioneering days of motoring.
The chauffeur is still outside the cab and the two lights either side of him are relics of the horse drawn cab era.
Mr Henry Ford's 'Model T' first ran off the production line in 1908, the year before this picture was painted.
