EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in automotive history - the Panhard-Levassor car winning the first prize in 1891. Taken by an anonymous French photographer from the 19th century, this image showcases a significant milestone for both motor enthusiasts and racing aficionados alike. Intriguingly, the photo highlights several distinctive features of this vintage automobile. The iconic bowler hat worn by the driver adds a touch of elegance to his determined expression as he sits behind the wheel. The vertical engine, prominently displayed under the hood, symbolizes innovation and power that propelled this vehicle to victory. The excitement and thrill of racing can be felt through this snapshot frozen in time. The blurred background suggests high speeds reached during this intense competition on French soil. As spectators cheer on their favorite racers, it is evident that this Panhard-Levassor car has outperformed its rivals with sheer skill and precision. Preserved within a private collection, this rare print serves as a testament to France's rich automotive heritage. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it represents not only triumph but also marks an important chapter in early motor racing history. Bridgeman Images brings us yet another remarkable piece of artistry captured through photography - showcasing not just an automobile but also capturing moments that transcend time itself.
