EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1903, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion - the Paris-Madrid race. The focus of the image is M. Farman, an esteemed figure at the steering wheel of his automobile, exuding confidence and determination. Dressed in period-appropriate attire for a daytime event, M. Farman dons a stylish derby hat that adds a touch of sophistication to his ensemble. His overcoat suggests that he is prepared for any weather conditions that may arise during this thrilling race through Europe's scenic landscapes. Surrounded by lush wooded areas and towering trees, the picturesque backdrop enhances the sense of adventure and excitement captured in this photograph. The dense vegetation serves as a testament to nature's beauty juxtaposed against man-made machinery. The automobile itself takes center stage as both a scene-stealer and method of transportation. A symbol of progress and innovation during its time, it represents mankind's relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries and conquering new frontiers. This print allows us to marvel at not only M. Farman's courage but also the evolution of transportation throughout history. It provides us with a glimpse into an era where automobiles were still novel inventions rather than commonplace objects on our roads today. As we admire this remarkable piece by an unidentified author from Alinari, let us appreciate how far we have come since 1903 while acknowledging those who paved the way for modern-day advancements in technology and mobility.
