EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Frank Arthur, a prominent figure in Australian speedway history. Captured in 1935, the image portrays a man of great determination and skill. As the captain of the Australian speedway team, Arthur exudes confidence and leadership. Dressed in his racing attire from the era, Arthur dons goggles and a helmet as he prepares to conquer the track on his powerful motorbike. The black and white composition adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from the past. Arthur's contribution to motorcycle speedway cannot be overstated. In 1929, he made history by winning the inaugural Star Riders Championship, which later evolved into the prestigious Speedway World Championship. His name became synonymous with excellence in this exhilarating sport. The print is part of Popular Personalities album issued by Piccadilly Juniors Oval Photos back in 1935. It serves as a testament to Arthur's enduring legacy within Australia's sporting landscape. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, it transports us back to a time when road transport was still evolving and motorsport was gaining popularity worldwide. This image captures not only an exceptional athlete but also represents an important chapter in Australia's sporting heritage.
