EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early days of automobile history. Dating all the way back to 1690, it showcases a pedal-driven carriage that was truly ahead of its time. The unique design features the passenger sitting at the front, taking charge by guiding the vehicle with ropes attached to the front wheels. Meanwhile, a dedicated servant stands at the back, diligently working the pedal mechanism. The chromolithograph from Liebig Trade Card captures this remarkable moment in transportation evolution beautifully. Its vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this historical scene. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how far automobiles have come since then. Transportation has always been an essential aspect of human progress, and this photograph serves as a testament to our ingenuity and determination throughout history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were already dreaming of more efficient ways to travel. Let's take a moment to appreciate those who paved the way for modern vehicles and acknowledge their contribution in shaping our world today. This artful card is not just a visual delight; it also represents an important chapter in our collective journey towards innovation and mobility.
