EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of innovation and progress during the late Victorian era, as evidenced by the sleek and modern horseless carriage with a Daimler petroleum engine, displayed at the exhibition of horseless vehicles in Tunbridge Wells, England, in 1895. The carriage, manufactured by the renowned French automobile company Panhard et Levassor, was exhibited by the esteemed Hon. Evelyn Ellis. The Daimler engine, a groundbreaking development in transportation technology, replaced the traditional horse-drawn carriages with a more efficient and powerful means of travel. The petroleum engine, with its ability to produce a consistent and reliable power output, revolutionized the way people moved from place to place, paving the way for the automobile industry as we know it today.

This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was on the cusp of a technological revolution.
