Beautiful prints of pre-war automobiles. Panhard et Levassor was established as a car manufacturing concern in about 1890 by René Panhard and Emile Levassor. The company was founded when René Panhard and Emile Levassor decided to move from making woodworking machines to automobiles. Their first car used a Daimler engine and was offered in 1890. They pioneered the 'Systeme Panhard', which consisted of four wheels, a front-mounted engine with rear wheel drive, and a sliding-gear transmission, and was to become the standard layout for automobiles for most of the next century.
Arthur Krebs succeeded to Levassor as Panhard-Levassor's General Manager from 1897 to 1916, and turned the Panhard-Levassor Company into one of the largest and profitable manufacturer of automobiles before WWI.
Four chromolithographed plates.
