EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Vienna in 1911, showcases the elegance and sophistication of early automobile travel. The image features Fritz Huckel, a prominent hat manufacturer, sitting in the driver's seat of a Daimler car. His wife, dressed in fashionable Edwardian attire, sits beside him, her hat perfectly aligned with the contours of the vehicle. In the rear seat, we find William Norfolk Battersby, an Englishman born in 1864, who appears less than impressed by the experience. Fritz Huckel's success as a hat manufacturer is evident in his stylish and well-tailored clothing. His wife's outfit, with its high collar, long skirt, and intricate hat adorned with ribbons and flowers, reflects the fashion trends of the time. The Daimler car, with its sleek design and elegant lines, adds to the overall sense of luxury and opulence. William Norfolk Battersby, a man of advanced age, seems to be less enthused by the automobile ride. His stern expression and crossed arms suggest a certain disdain for the new technology. Despite his apparent disinterest, the photograph captures a moment in history when the world was on the cusp of a technological revolution. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of wealthy travelers during the early days of automobile transportation. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion, technology, and the human experience.
