The Kriéger Company of Electric Vehicles was founded in 1898 by Louis Antoine Kriéger in France to manufacture automobiles. At least three battery-powered models were produced, the Brougham, the Landaulette and the Electrolette. This photograph shows U.S. senator George P. Wetmore of Rhode Island in a Kriéger Landaulette in around 1906. The senator is accompanied by a woman (presumably his wife), a chauffeur and a footman.
