Item Overview

Description

ANDRÉ ROBERT
Voiturettes Automobiles Léon Bollée.
Bollée was one of the mechanics and machine shop owners who, in the days before mass production was introduced into the auto industry, offered to build custom bodies for the early enthusiasts. In this three-wheeler, the fastidiously-dressed passenger is perched semi-comfortably in front of her chauffeur. And though the dangling blanket and lack of a safety belt might make the modern motorist a bit uneasy, it's an excellent portrayal of the devil-may-care naivety of the early automotive age.
Imp. Charles Verneau, Paris
