Too large for the photo Mystery



Paul van Banning writes: "On a collectors market I found this photograph showing an impressive landaulet, probably around 1910. The photograph was large ( edit.: too large for his scanner), so front and rear are shown separately. The owners had probably no financial sorrows and could afford to pay a  private chauffeur. The question is the make of the motorcar. On top of the radiator a star can be seen, but is not the Mercedes type.  Who knows the exact answer?"

Editor: Well, Paul is giving the correct answer himself already without knowing. The star on the radiator he refers to is of course the logo of the british marque Star from Wolverhampton (not to be confused with the american brand marketed by the Durant Motor Company). Still following Paul, the exact answer is something else. We like to know what the exact year and type is and of course who is the builder of this fine Landaulet?

A beatiful car. I always use Microsoft Paint myself - a standard picture editing program included in most PC-computers to alter pictures, including making several parts into one picture. And very easy to handle.

I would suggest a 1911 15 or 20hp model, but I guess it will be virtually impossible to determine the coachbuilder of this landaulette. There were many of them! For making a complete photo from bits and pieces I always use Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor). It is free and it is very easy to work with. Probably for Apple users something comparable will surely be available.
