In this image from 1902, Dr. Lehwess bids farewell to his loved ones as he prepares to embark on an extraordinary journey around the world in his innovative Passe Partout motorhome. The Passe Partout, a pioneering vehicle of its time, was a motorized house on wheels, designed by the French inventor, Charles Trépardoux. Dr. Lehwess, an intrepid explorer and scientist, saw the potential in this unique mode of transport and transformed it into a mobile laboratory and living quarters. The photograph captures the moment of departure, with Dr. Lehwess standing next to his vehicle, waving goodbye to his family and friends. His wife, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and holding a parasol, looks on with a mixture of pride and sadness. The Passe Partout is loaded with an array of scientific equipment, supplies, and personal belongings, ready for the long journey ahead. The backdrop of the image is a bustling European town, with quaint houses, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages. The contrast between the modern Passe Partout and the traditional surroundings highlights the groundbreaking nature of Dr. Lehwess's adventure. As he sets off on his tour of the world, Dr. Lehwess was determined to explore new territories, conduct scientific research, and document his discoveries. His Passe Partout motorhome served as both his home and his laboratory, allowing him to travel to remote locations and study the natural world in its purest form. This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the early 20th century and continues to inspire us today.
