EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dashing figure of Selwyn Francis Edge (1868-1940), an Australian-born British businessman, racing driver, and cyclist, in the prime of his athletic middle age. Edge was a man of many talents and passions, who excelled in both the early motoring and cycling worlds. Dressed in a smart tweed suit, Edge cuts an imposing figure as he stands beside an oval race track. The crisp collar and neatly tied tie add an air of sophistication to his racing attire. At this early stage in the 20th century, the automobile was still a new and exciting innovation, and Edge was at the forefront of the motoring scene. However, Edge's love for speed and competition was not limited to cars. He was also an accomplished cyclist and held several records to his name. The photograph captures the determination and focus in his eyes, a testament to his competitive spirit and his dedication to his sports. Edge's versatility as a sportsman made him a popular figure in both the motoring and cycling communities. His achievements on the race track and the cycling track cemented his place in the annals of early 20th century sports history. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a man who embodied the spirit of adventure and competition that defined the era.
