1. Title: A Pioneering Moment in Motoring History: Three-Quarter View of Benz's First Car (1885) 2.. This image showcases a three-quarter view of Bertha Benz and her historic achievement - Benz's first car, an essential milestone in the annals of automotive history. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, encapsulates the essence of innovation and curiosity that characterized the early days of motoring. Benz's first car, a three-wheeled vehicle named the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, was the brainchild of Karl Benz, a German engineer and inventor. This groundbreaking invention, registered under patent number 37435 on January 29, 1886, was the world's first automobile with a gasoline internal combustion engine. The car, as seen in the photograph, features a distinctive design with a single cylinder engine, a wooden body, and three wheels. The large, solid tires were fitted with iron bands, while the steering wheel was positioned at the rear of the vehicle, allowing the driver to control the direction by turning the entire rear axle. The image of Benz's first car not only represents a significant moment in the evolution of personal transportation but also symbolizes the spirit of adventure and ingenuity that characterized the early days of motoring. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the remarkable journey that began with the invention of the automobile and continues to shape our world today. This image, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, is an invaluable addition to any collection dedicated to the history of automobiles, transportation, or engineering. It serves as a testament to the pioneering spirit of those who dared to dream and create, ultimately shaping the future of personal transportation.
