EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in history - the birth of an idea that would revolutionize transportation forever. In 1895, George B. Selden's road engine received the first-ever patent for combining an internal combustion engine with a carriage. This groundbreaking invention marked the beginning of a new era, paving the way for what we now know as automobiles. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where innovation was flourishing and dreams were turning into reality. The intricate drawing showcases Selden's vision and ingenuity, capturing every detail of his remarkable creation. This image is not just about machinery; it represents human progress and determination to push boundaries. It symbolizes how one person's brilliant idea can shape the course of history and change our lives forever. Although this photograph does not mention commercial use explicitly, it hints at endless possibilities that lie ahead. Little did Selden know that his invention would lay down the foundation for countless automobile manufacturers who would later bring cars into every corner of our world. In essence, this print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days at the turn of the century when pioneers like George B. Selden dared to dream big and transform their ideas into tangible realities that continue to impact our lives today.
