EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The old versus the new" by Achille Beltrame showcases a fascinating contrast between two eras of automobile technology. The image captures a moment at the French Autodrome in Montlhery, where an extraordinary speed race unfolded between an ancient car from 1895 and a cutting-edge modern vehicle. Despite starting with a significant advantage of five laps out of six, the veteran car was no match for its younger counterpart. With effortless ease, the 1929 model surged ahead and claimed victory. This thrilling spectacle took place in front of a mesmerized crowd, who filled the stands to witness this clash between tradition and progress. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on May 12th, 1929, immortalizing this historic event. The artwork beautifully portrays the excitement and anticipation that permeated through the autodrome as spectators eagerly watched these remarkable machines go head-to-head on the track. Through this image, we are reminded of how rapidly technology advances over time. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovation. As we marvel at this snapshot from history, we reflect upon how far transportation has come since those early days when automobiles were still finding their footing. This print is not just about cars; it symbolizes progress itself – an eternal battle between tradition and modernity that continues to shape our world today.
