EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of early 20th century French elegance as a well-to-do couple sets off for a leisurely drive in the countryside. The scene is set in a fine De Dion & Bouton taxi, a prestigious automobile brand popular among the affluent class during this era. The taxi, adorned with ornate detailing and a distinctive bonnet, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. The husband and wife, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen stepping into the taxi with an air of excitement and anticipation. The husband holds a cane and a small lantern, suggesting that their destination may be in the rural areas where electricity and streetlights were not yet common. The wife carries a portemanteau, a large trunk used for travel, indicating a longer journey. The taxi driver, impeccably dressed in a chauffeur's uniform, stands by the open door, ready to assist them. His demeanor is professional and courteous, reminiscent of English chauffeur school training. The taxi meter, a novelty at the time, is visible on the dashboard, adding to the modernity of the vehicle. The photograph, taken circa 1905, is a testament to the romantic allure of early automobile travel. The couple's adventure begins as they set off on their journey, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of city life for the serene beauty of the French countryside.
