EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in automotive history - the first steam automobile, created by Cugnot in 1769. The image showcases the early design of this groundbreaking invention, which paved the way for future advancements in transportation. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia and charm, transporting us back to a time when automobiles were still a novel concept. It serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come since then, with sleek modern vehicles dominating our roads today. The car itself is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. Its bulky frame and primitive features stand in stark contrast to the streamlined machines we are accustomed to seeing now. Yet, it was this very creation that set off a chain reaction of technological progress that continues to shape our world. Looking at this image evokes feelings of excitement and glamour associated with early motoring adventures. One can almost imagine being behind the wheel, experiencing the thrill of driving such an extraordinary contraption for the first time. As we gaze upon this piece from European Photographer's collection, we are reminded not only of Cugnot's pioneering spirit but also of how transportation has evolved over centuries. This snapshot encapsulates both history and possibility within its monochromatic frame – forever preserving an important milestone on humanity's journey towards efficient means of transport.
