EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Sir Malcolm Campbell in his iconic Bluebird racing car, at Daytona Beach, Florida on 7th March 1935. Known for his remarkable achievements in land and water speed records, Campbell's fearless pursuit of velocity is epitomized by this image. Campbell had already set a world land speed record of 272.46 mph in Daytona, Florida back in 1933. However, it was in 1935 that he etched his name into history as the first man to break the elusive barrier of 300 mph on land. Racing across the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, he achieved an astonishing speed of 301.1291 mph. The sleek design of Bluebird K7 perfectly complements Campbell's audacious spirit and unwavering determination to push boundaries. He named all his racing cars and speed boats "Bluebird" after the symbol of unattainability from Maurice Maeterlinck's play. Sir Malcolm Campbell continued to dominate both land and water records throughout his career until his untimely death in 1948. His fastest recorded speed on water stood at an impressive 141.74 mph when he set it back in 1939. This extraordinary photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Sir Malcolm Campbell's indomitable spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence within the realm of motor sport history.
