The Original “Great Race”:

The 1907 Peking (present day Beijing) to Paris motor challenge remains one of the most celebrated events in automotive history. *These images come from the book, Pekin to Paris by Motor Car, in which Italian journalist Luigi Barzini writes about the experiences he and his hosts encountered. *He accompanied Prince Borghese and his driver, Ettore. *

It’s definitely a fun read. *Read it online at the internet archive!*https://archive.org/stream/pekintoparisacco00barz#page/n7/mode/2up
