EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment when Henri Rougier fearlessly races his Lorraine-Dietrich up the treacherous Mount Ventoux rally in 1904. Taken around 1910, this colour lithograph by Ernest Montaut showcases Rougier's remarkable driving skills and the sheer power of his motorcar. In this vibrant image, Rougier can be seen navigating a sharp curve with incredible speed and precision. The landscape surrounding him is breathtakingly beautiful, with lush greenery and towering mountains providing a stunning backdrop to this high-stakes competition. Rougier's determination is palpable as he pushes himself and his automobile to their limits. It is said that he completed the challenging 22-kilometre ascent up Mount Ventoux in an astonishing time of just 19 minutes and 30 seconds. This achievement solidified his status as a legendary figure in the world of racing. The print not only pays homage to Rougier's skillful driving but also highlights the thrill and excitement of early motorsport competitions. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of automotive technology and racing prowess. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historic image from eArchives Charmet offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where speed, courage, and passion for motoring were celebrated on roads like Mont Ventoux.
