EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print captures a unique example of innovation and ingenuity from the late 19th century - a steam horse attached to a traditional carriage. Exhibited by De Dion and Bouton in Paris in October 1895, this horseless arrangement was ahead of its time but relatively short-lived in terms of practical use.
The image showcases the juxtaposition of old-world charm with cutting-edge technology, as the steam-powered contraption stands next to the elegant carriage. The import of this invention on history cannot be understated, as it represents a pivotal moment in transportation evolution.
On the 26th of October 1895, spectators marveled at this unconventional mode of transport that challenged conventional norms. The collaboration between De Dion and Bouton resulted in an engineering marvel that pushed boundaries and sparked curiosity among onlookers.
As we look back on this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how progress is often born out of experimentation and daring ideas. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity and our relentless pursuit of advancement.
Intriguingly captured by Rights Managed, this piece from Mary Evans Prints Online invites us to ponder on the intersection between tradition and innovation, offering a glimpse into a bygone era where possibilities seemed endless.
