EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1890, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of leisure and camaraderie between the Marquis of Dijon, his friend, and their loyal canine companion. The trio is captured on three-wheel motorcycles as they embark on an adventurous journey through the picturesque landscapes of Italy. The Marquis of Dijon exudes an air of sophistication, dressed impeccably in fashionable attire befitting his noble status. His hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble while also protecting him from the sun's rays during their daytime escapade. Beside him stands his trusted friend, equally stylish and ready for the open road. But it is their four-legged companion that steals the show with its undeniable charm. A terrestrial mammal full of energy and loyalty, this dog symbolizes companionship amidst thrilling adventures. Its presence further emphasizes the bond shared by these individuals as they explore new horizons together. As they ride along on their motorcycles, one cannot help but marvel at both the scene before us and the method of transportation chosen by these daring gentlemen. This image captures not only a mode of travel but also a snapshot into society's evolving relationship with technology during that era. Photographed by an unidentified author from Alinari, this print encapsulates more than just a moment frozen in time; it represents an era defined by nobility mingling with innovation. It serves as a reminder that even those belonging to higher social classes were not immune to embracing progress or indulging in moments filled with joyous freedom. This remarkable photograph invites us to imagine ourselves alongside them - feeling the wind against our faces as we navigate uncharted roads - all while cherishing friendships that transcend time itself.
