In this photograph from the late 1890s, a group of early automobiles make their way past the grand Trafoi Hotel, nestled at the foot of the majestic Stilfserjoch mountains in Southern Tirol, Italy. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the juxtaposition between the innovative technology of the automobile and the traditional elegance of the Alpine hotel. The automobiles, with their large wheels and exposed engines, appear both powerful and primitive, a stark contrast to the ornate facade of the Trafoi Hotel.
