EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the streets of Paris in 1925. As a car glides through the bustling city, passers-by stand stupefied, their eyes wide with astonishment. What makes this scene even more extraordinary is the absence of a visible driver behind the wheel. The mysterious driver remains hidden under the wheel, adding an air of intrigue and wonder to this moment frozen in time. This illustration was originally featured in "Le petit journal" on November 22nd, 1925, capturing a truly remarkable event that left Parisians both amazed and fearful. The image speaks volumes about the advancements in automotive technology during that era. It also highlights the fear and danger associated with such innovations as people grappled with new modes of transportation entering their daily lives. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful engraving brings this historical moment to life once again. Through his artistry, we can almost hear the gasps from onlookers and feel their mixed emotions - curiosity mingled with trepidation. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while also evoking nostalgia for a bygone era. It invites us to ponder not only technological progress but also our collective human response to change and innovation throughout history.
