EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Tatler illustration, we witness the futile attempt of the self-proclaimed "finest fighting machine in the world" to conquer new worlds. The legendary Jack Johnson, known as "Massa" is depicted atop his racing motor car, yearning for fresh fields to conquer. Eager for a challenge, he recently challenged America's foremost and most daring professional racing motorist, Mr. Barney Oldfield. Despite Johnson's 90 horsepower car against Oldfield's more modest 50 horsepower racer, it was clear that experience trumped power on this occasion. The veteran racer effortlessly outmaneuvered his determined opponent and emerged victorious from their thrilling match. This photograph captures not only the spirit of competition but also highlights social trends prevalent during its time. As an aristocratic society magazine like Tatler would often do, it immortalizes personalities who shape history through sport and other pursuits. The image showcases Johnson confidently gripping the steering wheel while donning goggles—a symbol of both protection and determination. His presence exudes strength and resilience even in defeat. Ultimately, this print serves as a reminder that victory does not always come to those with sheer force alone; skill and expertise are equally crucial ingredients in conquering new frontiers—be it within or beyond the realm of pugilism or motorsports.
