On the Road

Anonymous, found photos from the 40s to 70s that capture the freedom and adventure of the open road. These vintage photographs take you on a journey across Europe and America's highways, celebrating the spirit of Kerouac's great open road. Family road trips and first cars, unplanned pit-stops and incredible vistas are rediscovered from found colour slides, selected from The Anonymous Project's collection of over 800,000. The people pictured here may be unknown, but these photographs capture a familiar excitement: getting behind the wheel and setting out to see where the road takes you. In a year when people throughout the world have been home-bound, the call of adventure sounds louder than ever.
