Hi, Slightly concerned about this one as, but for the front dumbirons, it could be an American Flanders. Subsequent research of humpy bonnets suggests it is a French Brouhot but I have not been able to find any other photo of a Brouhot with that type of bonnet, or downfacing dumbirons. The Brouhot bonnets were normally simply wavy rather than edged, and dumbirons just normally curved. As no picture, cannot advise date, but the Flanders would have been cca1910. Would love to see any other photos of a Brouhot with those features for my system!   Regards Vintman

Worry not, Vintman. Your research has not been in vain. It is indeed a Brouhot from 1910, and here is another one to show the radiator shape of the time. Well done.

Not being nit-pickey but the shape of the top of the bonnet is more Flanders than Brouhot. Also the dumbirons do not seem right. I wonder if the original photo could be wrong? I will hang on to the point though!!

The photo was undoubtedly taken in Paris - more chance of a Brouhot  being there than a Flanders.
