EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and thrill of a motorised tricycle race in Saint Petersburg, circa 1899. Taken by an anonymous Russian photographer from the 19th century, this image showcases a moment frozen in time. In the foreground, we see a group of contestants astride their powerful tricycles, eagerly awaiting the start of the race. Dressed in traditional cycling attire, these daring individuals exude determination and competitive spirit. The vintage tricycles themselves are marvels of engineering for their time, representing both progress and innovation. As our gaze extends beyond the racers, we notice a crowd of spectators lining the road with anticipation. Men and women alike have gathered to witness this exhilarating event unfold before them. Their faces reflect a mixture of excitement and curiosity as they watch intently. The backdrop reveals glimpses of Saint Petersburg's architectural beauty - grand buildings standing tall against an overcast sky. This juxtaposition between old-world charm and emerging technology adds depth to the composition. This photograph not only captures a sporting event but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on early motorsport culture in Russia. It reminds us that even over a century ago, people were drawn to thrilling competitions that pushed boundaries and celebrated human achievement. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece offers us an intriguing glimpse into our past while reminding us how far we've come since those pioneering days on three wheels.
