A Proud Welsh Family's Connection to the Past: A 1903-4 De Dion Bouton Motor Car in Crickhowell, Powys, Mid Wales This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a proud Welsh family as they gather around their antique De Dion Bouton motor car, registration number AJ 232, in a quaint back yard in Crickhowell, Powys, Mid Wales, circa 1910. The scene exudes a sense of historical significance and patriotic pride, with the Union Jack flag proudly displayed on the car's grille. The De Dion Bouton was a popular French automobile manufactured between 1896 and 1932. This particular model, with its exposed engine and intricate details, was a symbol of luxury and innovation during the Edwardian era. The family members, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be in the process of cranking the car to life, with the father handling the crank and the children and women looking on with excitement and anticipation. The setting, with its unpaved yard and rustic surroundings, adds to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The car's radiator, with its distinctive De Dion Bouton logo, is prominently displayed, further emphasizing the vehicle's historical significance. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the connection between families and their cherished possessions, as well as the enduring appeal of the automobile as a symbol of progress and freedom. The fact that this particular car has made its way to Wales adds to its intrigue, as it represents a piece of European history that has been preserved and celebrated in the heart of Mid Wales.
