EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in the history of transportation - the demonstration of Lucius D. Copeland's groundbreaking invention, the steam tricycle. In 1888, outside the iconic north entrance of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. , Inventor Lucius D. Copeland can be seen proudly showcasing his creation to an intrigued audience. The Phaeton Moto-Cycle, as it was known, stands tall with its unique design and intricate engineering. The photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston is also present on this historic day, capturing every detail from her vantage point at the front of the vehicle. Men dressed in late 19th-century fashion surround the steam tricycle, their curiosity piqued by this innovative mode of transportation. A woman sits comfortably as a passenger on top of its roof while Copeland takes charge at the wheel with utmost confidence. The image exudes a sense of excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead in terms of technological advancements. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant quest for progress. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph over a century later, we are reminded that inventions like Copeland's steam tricycle paved the way for modern-day motorcycles and automobiles that have become an integral part of our lives today.
