EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the De Dion-Bouton three-wheeler motorcycle, an ingenious invention by Albert de Dion and Georges Bouton in 1897. This single-cylinder gasoline engine tricycle marked a significant milestone in the early history of motorized transportation. The De Dion-Bouton three-wheeler was a groundbreaking design for its time, featuring a lightweight yet robust frame, and a powerful engine that could propel the vehicle at impressive speeds for the era. The image captures the essence of the late 1890s, an era of innovation and excitement as the world transitioned from horse-drawn carriages to motorized vehicles. The rider, dressed in period attire, sits confidently atop the tricycle, ready to embark on a thrilling ride. The trike's large front wheel and two smaller rear wheels provide excellent stability, making it an attractive alternative to the unstable and often dangerous two-wheel motorcycles of the time. The De Dion-Bouton three-wheeler motorcycle was a testament to the ingenuity and vision of its creators, who sought to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of personal transportation. Though this photograph does not depict the vehicle in commercial use, it stands as a powerful symbol of the spirit of invention and progress that characterized the late 19th century. This image is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of transportation, motorcycles, or the early days of the automobile industry.
