EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, created by the talented artist Jean Villemot, takes us back to the vibrant world of early 20th-century France. Titled "The New Chauffeur" it showcases a delightful motoring cartoon that appeared in the renowned car magazine Omnia during that era. In this charming scene, we find ourselves on a picturesque road where a stylishly dressed female chauffeur is engaged in an animated conversation with two gentlemen and her trusty canine companion. The men seem captivated by her presence as they exchange thoughts about their shared passion for cars and driving. Dressed in fashionable overcoats, these characters epitomize the elegance and sophistication associated with French society at the time. Villemot's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this snapshot of life on wheels.
