EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - a 1904 De Dion Bouton Model Q gracefully navigating through the snowy landscape at Beaulieu. A relic from the early days of motoring, this vintage vehicle showcases the challenges faced by Edwardian motorists. In 1883, Count Albert de Dion and Georges Bouton joined forces to create their first vehicles - steam tricycles. However, it wasn't until 1899 that they produced their inaugural small car. This particular De Dion Bouton Model Q exemplifies the hardships encountered by drivers of that era. With no roof, windscreen or doors, the driver was exposed to all weather conditions and road dust, necessitating specialized motoring clothing. Night driving posed an additional hazard due to oil lamps being used as headlights during this period. The lack of proper illumination made traversing dark roads a treacherous endeavor for these intrepid pioneers. Tim Woodcock's expertly captured image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of this veteran car and gain insight into the trials faced by early motorists. It serves as a reminder of how far automotive technology has advanced since then while paying homage to those who braved such challenging conditions on their journeys through history.
