Baron Bicycle Carnavalet Etching Invented Ludwig Named Running Drais Draisine Persons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching depicts the Laufmaschine, or running machine, named Draisine, which was invented by Baron Karl Christian Ludwig Drais von Sauerbronn in 1817. The Draisine is considered to be the precursor to the modern bicycle, as it allowed riders to propel themselves forward by pushing off the ground with their feet while seated on the machine. The scene shows a group of men interacting with the Draisine, with one man in the foreground mounting the machine and another offering assistance. The etching, created in France, is now housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a museum dedicated to the history of Paris. The intricate details of the etching capture the unique design of the Draisine, with its long wooden frame and large front wheel. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and curiosity surrounding the invention of this groundbreaking transportation device.
