EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1891, captures a significant moment in the early history of motoring. The image features Karl Benz, the pioneering inventor and engineer, and his wife, Bertha Benz, seated in one of the first automobiles they built together. The Benz Patent-Motorwagen, a three-wheeled vehicle with a top speed of 10 mph, revolutionized the world of transportation. Karl Benz, with a determined expression on his face, sits in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel. His wife, Bertha, a vision of elegance and courage, sits beside him, dressed in a long coat and a hat, ready for the journey. The couple's bond is palpable as they embark on this new adventure, marking a turning point in the history of personal transportation. The Benz Patent-Motorwagen, with its exposed gears and mechanical components, stands out as a marvel of engineering innovation. The large wheels, which were a significant improvement from the small bicycle wheels used in earlier vehicles, add to the vehicle's imposing presence. The image offers a glimpse into the early days of automobile history, a time when the world was on the brink of a technological revolution. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of Karl Benz and his wife, Bertha, who dared to dream of a future where personal transportation would be faster, more efficient, and more convenient. Their pioneering work paved the way for the automobile industry as we know it today, and this image serves as a reminder of their groundbreaking achievements.
