EDITORS COMMENTS
In this artist's impression, the Napier-Campbell Blue Bird, piloted by the daring Sir Malcolm Campbell, takes center stage against the backdrop of Daytona Sands. The year is 1928, and the Blue Bird, outfitted with a powerful Spring engine from the Air Ministry, is poised to make history. The aerodynamic bodywork, meticulously designed by Mulliner, glistens in the sun, its sleek lines and streamlined shape a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. Campbell, a man known for his relentless pursuit of speed, sits confidently behind the wheel, his gaze fixed on the horizon. The Spring engine, a marvel of British engineering, roars to life, propelling the Blue Bird forward at an astonishing pace. The sand kicks up behind the car, a cloud of dust and debris marking its path as it races towards the record books. The date is February 19th, 1928, and the land speed record is about to be shattered once again. The Blue Bird reaches a breathtaking speed of 206.9 miles per hour, a feat that cements Campbell's place in the annals of automotive history. The image captures the raw power and excitement of a bygone era, a time when the pursuit of speed knew no bounds. This evocative print, brought to you by Illustrated London News Ltd and Mary Evans Prints Online, is a stunning reminder of a time when the impossible became possible, and the allure of the open road and the thrill of breaking the speed barrier continued to captivate the world.
