EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Leon Serpollet in his groundbreaking Gardner-Serpollet steam car, taken in Nice, France in 1903. Known for his remarkable achievements in the world of motoring, Serpollet had already set a land speed record just a year prior by reaching an astonishing 75.06 km/h along the picturesque promenade of Nice. A true pioneer and inventor, Serpollet continued to manufacture steam cars under both his own name and the Gardner-Serpollet brand until his untimely death in 1907. This image showcases not only a momentous achievement but also represents an era of innovation and scientific exploration. The photograph beautifully frames Serpollet seated behind the wheel of this revolutionary vehicle, surrounded by palm trees that line the road. The juxtaposition between man-made invention and natural beauty is strikingly captured here. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant quest for progress. This print transports us back to early 20th-century France when automobiles were still considered a novelty rather than an everyday sight on our streets. With its historical significance and artistic appeal, this print is truly a treasure for any enthusiast or collector interested in automotive history or vintage art media.
