EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and thrill of early motor car racing, with William Kissam Vanderbilt II (Junior) at the helm of his powerful automobile. Dressed in a stylish racing suit and goggles, Vanderbilt, born in 1878, embodies the spirit of the daring and adventurous motor sports enthusiasts of the early 20th century. The image, taken during a race, showcases a crowd of men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered around the track, eagerly watching the action unfold. The women, some with parasols and hats, add a touch of elegance to the scene, while the men, with their hands shielding their eyes from the sun, are fully engaged in the sporting event. The early days of motoring were a time of innovation and experimentation, with motor cars still a relatively new technology. Vanderbilt, a member of the prominent Vanderbilt family, was a pioneer in the sport, having established the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the Vanderbilt Cup Races in 1904. These races, held on Long Island, New York, attracted drivers from around the world and helped to establish the United States as a major force in international motor racing. The photograph, taken from an elevated vantage point, offers a unique perspective of the race, with the cars appearing as tiny specks against the vast expanse of the track. Despite their small size, the cars exude power and speed, their engines roaring as they race towards the finish line. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when motor car racing was a new and exhilarating sport, and the thrill of the chase was the ultimate goal.
