This motorist’s bag is a home-made cloth bag dating from the early 20th century. The motor car which the elderly couple, Darby and Joan, are looking at is a Renault dating from around 1905. The picture and captions appear to be making fun of widespread fears at the time that the new motorised vehicles would endanger lives. Bag brethyn cartref sy’n dyddio o ddechrau’r 20fed ganrif yw’r bag modurwr hwn. Renault sy’n dyddio o oddeutu 1905 yw’r car modur y mae’r cwpl oedrannus, Darby a Joan, yn edrych arno. Mae’n ymddangos bod y llun a’r capsiynau yn gwneud hwyl am ofnau cyffredin ar y pryd y byddai’r cerbydau modur newydd yn peryglu bywydau.
