EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous lithograph from the 19th century captures a comical scene of motoring in the Belle Époque era. The satirical drawing depicts a French man and woman driving an early veteran car, accompanied by a police officer as their passenger. The man is seen behind the steering wheel, wearing a fashionable hat and dressed in period attire, while the woman sits beside him in an elegant dress. The cartoon pokes fun at the challenges of early automobile transportation, highlighting the amusing interactions between motorists and law enforcement. The exaggerated expressions on their faces add to the whimsical nature of this artwork. Created during a time when automobiles were still relatively new inventions, this print reflects both the excitement and novelty surrounding motorized transport. It also offers a glimpse into French society's fascination with fashion and style during that period. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details in this satirical cartoon, making it not only visually appealing but also socially insightful. This piece serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology while reminding us to appreciate our modern conveniences. This lithograph is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection and showcases their commitment to preserving historical artworks for future generations to enjoy.
