EDITORS COMMENTS
by Webster Murray: A Timeless Tale of Romance and Adventure on the Open Road In this image by Webster Murray, a motorcyclist and his female passenger ride through the night, their silhouettes etched against the backdrop of a dark, star-studded sky. The sense of speed and freedom is palpable as they cut through the cool night air, leaving a trail of light in their wake. But as they round a bend, an unexpected figure emerges from the shadows: the ghostly apparition of a mounted highwayman, his eyes wide with surprise. This evocative photograph, taken in 1924, captures the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, a time of daring exploits, rebellion, and the thrill of the open road. The motorcycle, a symbol of modernity and independence, was a powerful and alluring machine that captured the imagination of a generation. And as the motorcyclist and his girlfriend, a daring and adventurous couple, ride off into the night, they leave behind the ghost of the past, a reminder of the enduring allure of the open road and the timeless romance of the knight errant. Webster Murray's "A New Knight of the Road" is a stunning work of art that transports us back to a bygone era, a time of speed, freedom, and the thrill of the unknown. With its haunting imagery and evocative storytelling, this photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the motorcycle as a symbol of adventure, romance, and the human spirit.
