The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the image while highlighting every detail – from Swain's focused expression to her sleek racing attire. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Beryl Swain's legacy as a professional racer and symbolizes her contribution towards breaking down barriers for women in sports.
