Quote from: pnegyesi on November 10, 2019, 05:12:03 AM

He was described as an early car enthusiast from the 1890s, a multi-talented researcher and inventor

Was the article written during his lifetime?

I need to apologise to everybody who participated in this puzzle.
I was looking at the caption and did not read the accompanying article carefully.

So the car on the picture is a Peugeot. But there is still a significance to it, which is mentioned on a website. So if you combine Peugeot and the man in question you still get an interesting result. Would you like to pursue it or should I reveal it and move on?

I'd like to find the guy's name

pnegyesi · « **Reply #34 on:** November 17, 2019, 04:03:09 AM »

okay, you need to find the place where this man lived

Starting: Paris?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #36 on:** November 17, 2019, 04:14:44 AM »

around 900 km to the south (and a bit east)

Toulone?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #42 on:** November 17, 2019, 05:48:43 AM »

locked for Oguerrerob. The man was from Cannes.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #43 on:** November 17, 2019, 01:00:36 PM »

To narrow down a little, was his name typical french?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #44 on:** November 17, 2019, 02:47:05 PM »

yes and as you have the city and the car, I don't think it will be difficult to find him

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #45 on:** November 18, 2019, 02:38:51 AM »

Georges Méliès?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #46 on:** November 18, 2019, 06:32:20 AM »

not him

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #47 on:** November 18, 2019, 07:48:14 AM »

Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #48 on:** November 18, 2019, 07:49:37 AM »

no, the reason why this car is important is very closely connected to the city of Cannes

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #49 on:** November 18, 2019, 12:51:11 PM »

I can't find nothing. My last shot: Nicolas Raffard?

If not, please open to all. I'll keep looking
