EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early days of motoring in the late 19th century with this image of a vis-a-vis style seating arrangement in a 5 h.p. Decauville motor car. Dating back to October 1900, this photograph offers a glimpse into the primitive and intriguing world of Victorian motoring. Vis-a-vis, meaning "face to face," was a popular seating style for the little, slow cars of the era. Contrasting the vis-a-vis style, the even more disconcerting dos-a-dos seating arrangement had passengers sitting back to back. This vis-a-vis Decauville, with its elegant and intimate seating arrangement, is a testament to the luxurious and leisurely pace of early motoring. The 5 h.p. Decauville, a significant import from France, was a symbol of status and wealth during this period. Its quaint and charming appearance, with its exposed engine and delicate detailing, adds to the allure of this bygone era. The photograph, taken in the Bois de Boulogne, a popular recreational area in Paris, further emphasizes the connection between motoring and the enjoyment of nature during the late 19th century. This photograph, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1937, offers a fascinating look into the history of motoring and the evolution of automobile design. The vis-a-vis seating style, with its emphasis on face-to-face interaction and intimacy, is a stark contrast to the modern automobiles of today. This image is a reminder of the rich history of motoring and the unique experiences that came with early automobile travel.
