The story behind the motif
"Commercial considerations are fundamentally incompatible with revolutionary ideas" - Gabriel Voisin (1880-1973)
Gabriel Voisin became famous in the aviation industry as the manufacturer of Europe's first motor-driven and controllable flying machine. After the First World War, Voisin diversified into the automotive industry and built top-performing passenger cars during the 20s and 30s.
Voisin won the Grand Prix de Tourisme in 1922 in Lyon with his C3 model. The organizers felt offended by Voisin's somewhat liberal interpretation of the race's regulations and banned him from the race the following year. Voisin responded by designing an even faster, more superior car that came to be called the Voisin C6 Laboratoire. The Voisin C3 that we see in the picture became a popular car and was bought by, among others, the President of France and the Crown Prince of Japan.
Photographer: Unknown | Created: about 1922.
