EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HORSELESS CARRIAGE, 1899. What's in a Name?" takes us back to the turn of the century when the concept of automobiles was still in its infancy. The accompanying article from an American newspaper sheds light on the fascinating quest to find a suitable term for this groundbreaking invention. In 1899, as technology rapidly advanced and transportation underwent a revolution, society grappled with how to define this new mode of travel. This thought-provoking text delves into the late 19th-century mindset that struggled to encapsulate the essence of these horseless carriages. The image itself captures one such early automobile, showcasing its sleek design and innovative features that were destined to change our world forever. It serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come since those pioneering days. As we gaze upon this photograph print, it is impossible not to ponder about the ideas and ingenuity behind this invention. The article invites us into a time where imagination ran wild; where inventors sought words that could capture both their excitement and apprehension towards this technological marvel. While commercial use is not mentioned here, it becomes evident that even then, people recognized the transformative potential of automobiles. This print transports us back in time and encourages contemplation on how something as simple as naming can reflect societal shifts and shape our perception of progress.
