EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment when Henri Fournier, a renowned French racing driver, competes in the prestigious Paris-Berlin rally of 1901. Taken around 1910 by Ernest Montaut and now housed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this color lithograph showcases Fournier's Mors automobile speeding through the picturesque landscape. Fournier's remarkable achievement is highlighted as he successfully completes the grueling 1106-kilometer race in an impressive time of just 15 hours and 33 minutes. This triumph solidifies his status as a true victor in the world of motor racing. Notably, Fournier had previously emerged victorious in another esteemed race - the Paris-Bordeaux. The image portrays Fournier's intense focus and determination behind the wheel as he navigates his powerful car along winding roads. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail of this historic moment: from the speed signpost that signifies his lightning-fast velocity to the post marking each milestone on this cross-country journey. Montaut skillfully captures both the excitement and danger inherent in early motoring competitions with this exceptional artwork. It serves as a testament to not only Fournier's extraordinary driving skills but also to an era where automobiles were rapidly evolving into symbols of modernity and progress. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder allows us to relive a significant chapter in automotive history while celebrating Henri Fournier's remarkable achievements on European
