EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1897, showcases the innovative and intriguing Bazin's Roller Boat Steamer on the River Seine in France. Ernest Bazin's creation, a marvel of the late 1800s, combined the elements of a ship and a land vehicle in a unique and thrilling way. The Roller Boat Steamer, with its distinctive wheels, was designed to transport passengers along the river while also allowing the vessel to move freely on land when the water levels were low or when the vessel needed to be moved to a new location. The image captures the Roller Boat Steamer in motion, the wheels turning smoothly as the vessel glides effortlessly along the river's surface. The Seine, with its gentle current and picturesque banks, provides the perfect backdrop for this engineering feat. The French flag proudly flies atop the vessel, a symbol of national pride and innovation. The 1890s were a time of great technological advancements, and the Roller Boat Steamer was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the era. The vessel's design was a departure from traditional modes of river transportation and offered passengers an exciting and novel way to experience the beauty of the Seine. This photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back to a time when the world was on the cusp of great change and innovation. The Bazin's Roller Boat Steamer on the River Seine is a reminder of the past, a testament to the power of human ingenuity, and a glimpse into the future.
