EDITORS COMMENTS
This Autocar poster transports us back in time to the Paris-Berlin race of 1901, an early automobile competition that showcased the spirit of innovation and the thrill of speed. The scene depicts French racing driver Fernand Fournier triumphantly overtaking a Panhard car, piloted by an unidentified driver, in his Mors No.4. The average speed of Fournier's Mors during the grueling race was an impressive 44 mph. The photograph captures the raw essence of early motoring, with the dusty road stretching out before the competitors, and the swirling clouds of dust kicked up by the passing cars. The Mors and Panhard, both pioneering vehicles of their time, embody the ingenuity and determination of their drivers and engineers. Frederick Gordon Crosby, a renowned British artist, created this evocative poster to capture the excitement and energy of the Paris-Berlin race. The poster's vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw the viewer into the heart of the competition, making it a fascinating glimpse into the history of automobile racing. The Paris-Berlin race, held from July 22 to August 2, 1901, was a significant milestone in the history of motoring. It marked the first long-distance automobile race between two major European cities, and it showcased the growing popularity and potential of the automobile as a viable mode of transportation. This Autocar poster is a testament to the enduring allure of the open road and the thrill of the race.
