EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time on May 31, 1903, at the foot of the coast of Avenue Grammont in Tours, France. The scene depicts the excitement and adrenaline of the Paris/Madrid race as car number 14, a Mercedes driven by crew Werner, speeds past spectators along the road.
The early 20th-century setting is brought to life through this vintage image, showcasing a time when automobiles were still a novelty and racing was a daring adventure. The sleek design of the Mercedes car stands out against the backdrop of historic buildings and bustling streets.
As onlookers watch with anticipation, the race car zooms past in a blur of motion, capturing the essence of speed and competition. The black-and-white photography adds to the timeless quality of this snapshot from over a century ago.
This photograph serves as a window into history, offering viewers a glimpse into an era when automotive technology was rapidly evolving and pushing boundaries. It encapsulates not only the thrill of racing but also highlights the beauty and charm of Tours in Indre-et-Loire during that period. A true masterpiece captured by Lux-in-Fine for all to admire and appreciate.
