This photograph captures the N. J. Raffards electric tram, a groundbreaking invention from 1881. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the ingenuity of early electric transportation. The tram stands proudly against a backdrop of bustling city streets, its sleek design hinting at the technological advancements of its time. With its elegant carriage and streamlined body, it exudes both grace and power. This historic snapshot transports us back to an era when trams revolutionized urban travel. The N. J. Raffards electric tram was not just a means of transportation; it symbolized progress and modernity. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology. Yet, there is also a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when trams like these were an integral part of daily life. Preserved within a private collection and now out of copyright restrictions, this image serves as a testament to the artistry and innovation captured through photography in the late 1800s.
