EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrill and danger of filming a motor-race for the talking picture "Flight". Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases early automobiles and their role in bringing excitement and glamour to people's lives. In this particular scene, we see a man seated on top of a car's radiator, holding what appears to be a camera. This daring position highlights the lengths filmmakers would go to capture thrilling moments during races. The man's intense focus suggests he is fully immersed in his task, determined to capture every exhilarating second. The vintage cars lined up on the track evoke nostalgia for an era when motoring was still relatively new. They symbolize not only transportation but also freedom, adventure, and progress. As these vehicles speed past with their drivers at the wheel, one can almost hear the roar of engines and feel the rush of wind against their face. This photograph was originally used as an illustration for "The Romance of Motoring" written by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman in 1933. It serves as a reminder that even back then, capturing motion through film was seen as an art form capable of transporting audiences into thrilling worlds beyond their own. With its historical significance and artistic composition, this print from Fine Art Finder offers viewers a glimpse into both our transportation history and our fascination with capturing exciting moments on film.
