Details |
Advertisement for Dunlop tyres, featuring one of the spectacles of the London Season, with a long queue of smart cars (sporting Dunlop tyres obviously), on the Mall in St. James's Park, leading up to Buckingham Palace. The cars contain debutantes and society ladies, dressed in court gowns and with the traditional three feather headdress, waiting as the cars slowly edge their way to Buckingham Palace where they will be presented to the King and Queen in one of the Courts. Lining the route are crowds, curious to see the debs in their finery, while a policeman on horseback trots up and down the road, ensuring there is no trouble.
