The Coming of the Automobile

[Russell Hall]

Life in a French village was quiet and calm, moving at the pace of the village horses - until the automobile came. Period French artist Charles Leandre's view of the matter.

 

[Bowie]

Love it.

Still seems about right

 

[okalford]

The artist must never have seen a steam train!

 

[Beano]

Quite possibly.
I think it was in France where people watching a very early movie saw a train coming at them on-screen, and got up and ran out !
