Summary
This is a single page from a bound selection of the Canadian Government's official photographic series from World War I. The collection of 1772 images, representing around a third of all the official photographs known to exist in the series, was deposited at the British Museum in 1919/20 as part of the official copyright deposit collection. Individual photographs are not labelled, and no index has survived, but in many cases a number of the form "O.123" can be seen in the corner. This appears to represent an official numbering sequence. Some prints have been cropped and so the number is no longer visible; however, they appear to be bound in sequence. The volumes are numbered 1-4, and each page is recorded as "f001r", "f002r", etc.
The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late 1890s. Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry after WWI. Throughout this initial era, the development of automotive technology was rapid. Hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention. Key developments included the electric ignition system, independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes. Transmissions and throttle controls were widely adopted and safety glass also made its debut. Henry Ford perfected mass-production techniques, and Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler emerged as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Car manufacturers received enormous orders from the military during World War II, and afterward automobile production in the United States, Europe, and Japan soared.
