EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Die-Hard: A Study in the Supercilious," by the renowned British photographer Arthur Watts, transports us back to the golden age of motoring in Hyde Park, London, in 1929. The image showcases a die-hard car enthusiast proudly driving his cherished 20-year-old car through the park, surrounded by onlookers in their sleek, brand-new super-six sports models. The die-hard's determination to hold on to his vintage vehicle, despite the scornful gazes of the posh car owners, is a testament to his unwavering loyalty and appreciation for the past. His car, an old and trusted companion, stands out in stark contrast to the gleaming, modern machines that encircle it. Arthur Watts masterfully captures the essence of car snobbery in this scene, as the die-hard's refusal to conform to the latest trends in motoring elicits amusement and contempt from those around him. The photograph is a fascinating study of the human condition, showcasing the complexities of pride, nostalgia, and the desire to stand out from the crowd. The image, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of a bygone era when cars were not just modes of transportation but symbols of status and individuality. Watts' expert use of light, composition, and storytelling through the image makes "The Die-Hard: A Study in the Supercilious" a must-have for any automotive or social history enthusiast's collection.
