Celebrated auto racers of the early 20th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Boillot en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1914_French_Grand_Prix This might be a photo in connection with the 1914 Grand Prix, held on the eve of WWI, in which they both raced. It was Boillot's last race. More likely, related to their enlistment. Boillot enlisted, became an aviator, and was killed in action in 1916.

So awesome! I love these Brass Era behemoths. These were wild, exciting, dangerous & scary times... the progress that occurred these years on the Horseless Carriage was incredible.

Looks like it was taken in connection with their enlistment.
Cropped from original Agence Meurisse photo shown at Bibliotheque Nationale de France's Gallica site, with following caption:
"Boillot et Rigal mobilisés avec leur voiture Peugeot "
