1. Title: "A Timeless Emblem in Motion: The Spirit of Ecstasy in a 1959 Rolls-Royce Advertisement" 2. Description: This photograph from the Colin Sherborne Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet ornament of a Rolls-Royce car in motion. The image, taken in 1959, is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the Rolls-Royce brand during the 1950s. 3. Background: The Spirit of Ecstasy, also known as the Flying Lady, is the distinctive and iconic bonnet ornament of Rolls-Royce cars. Designed by Charles Sykes in 1911, the figure represents the embodiment of speed and luxury. The ornament has become an instantly recognizable symbol of the Rolls-Royce brand. 4. Composition: In this photograph, the Spirit of Ecstasy is captured in motion, with a strobe effect adding a sense of speed and dynamism to the image. The ornament appears to be "flying" through the air, as if propelled by the power and speed of the Rolls-Royce beneath it. The silver lady's graceful form stands in stark contrast to the dark background, making her all the more striking. 5. Technique: The use of a strobe effect in this photograph adds a unique and dynamic element to the image. The technique, which involves taking multiple photographs in quick succession and merging them into a single image, was popular in the 1950s and 1960s for capturing action and movement. In this case, it effectively conveys the sense of speed and excitement associated with the Rolls-Royce brand. 6. Conclusion: This photograph is a beautiful and evocative representation of the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy in motion. Taken in 1959, it captures the essence of the 1950s and the timeless appeal of the Rolls-Royce brand. The use of a strobe effect adds a sense of energy and excitement to the image, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage automotive photography.
