EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the electrifying moment of anticipation at the start line of the Transglobal Race, a grueling 19,000-kilometer journey from New York City to Paris. The image showcases five magnificent cars lined up on Broadway, ready to embark on this epic adventure. From left to right, we see the Dion, Sizaire & Naudin, Zust, Motobloc, and Thomson vehicles poised for action. Behind them stands the Protos car eagerly waiting its turn. Taken in 1908 and originally published in L Illustration magazine, this historic snapshot transports us back in time to witness an era when motor racing was still in its infancy. The landscape format adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the vastness of North America as these daring racers prepared themselves for an unprecedented challenge. The angle chosen by Hulton Archive's photographer is particularly intriguing; it captures both the sleek design of each vehicle and conveys a sense of motion about to be unleashed. One can almost feel their engines rumbling with excitement as they await that crucial signal to begin their high-speed pursuit across continents. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a testament not only to human ambition but also highlights our enduring fascination with speed and competition. It reminds us that even over a century ago, individuals were willing to push boundaries and test their limits in pursuit of victory.
