Straatgezicht met automobiel in Pont du Loup, rechts een gezelschap bij een hotel 1903

This photograph, taken in 1903 by Delizy, shows a street scene in Pont du Loup, France. A car, bearing the license plate 26-E, is parked on the street in front of a hotel. The hotel's balcony is crowded with figures, possibly tourists, who are enjoying the view of the surrounding countryside. The image captures the changing landscape of early 20th-century France, where the automobile was a new and exciting element of everyday life. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a small-format print measuring just 70 mm in height and 82 mm in width.
