EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage advertisement for Houdaille car suspension, dating back to the early 1900s, captures the essence of early road travel. The colorful print showcases a bustling French street scene with cars and pedestrians navigating their way through an intersection. In this humorous depiction, the bumpy ride experienced by motorists without Houdaille's innovative suspension system is cleverly portrayed. The artist, Maurice Rossillon Ogalop, skillfully uses metaphorical imagery to convey the discomfort of driving on rough roads. The exaggerated bouncing of the car and its passengers adds a touch of amusement to this otherwise uncomfortable situation. As trains pass along nearby railway tracks, contrasting smoothness and stability are emphasized. This advert not only promotes Houdaille's product but also reflects the era's fascination with advancements in transportation technology. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of automotive comfort and safety since those early days. As we admire this century-old print today, it offers us a glimpse into both the challenges faced by drivers in times gone by and our own appreciation for modern-day conveniences. This piece from The Print Collector collection allows us to appreciate the evolution of road transport while acknowledging that even then, companies like Houdaille were striving to make journeys smoother for all travelers on wheels.
