EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Alfieri in 1939, we are transported back to the start of the RAC rally from Ace of Spades on the Great West Road in London. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as Mrs K I Alsagoff sits elegantly as a passenger in her MG car, ready to embark on an exhilarating motor sport adventure. What makes this photo truly unique is the presence of Mrs Alsagoff's doll beside her. It adds a touch of whimsy and innocence amidst the excitement surrounding the event. As she clutches onto her precious companion tightly, one can't help but wonder about their shared anticipation for what lies ahead. The vintage charm exuded by both Mrs Alsagoff and her automobile instantly transports us to a different era. Her poised demeanor reflects not only her love for motorcars but also highlights women's growing participation in traditionally male-dominated activities during that time. Alfieri's monochrome composition beautifully captures every detail, showcasing the sleek lines and timeless elegance of the MG car against a backdrop filled with nostalgia. This photograph serves as a testament to Europeana photography at its finest - preserving moments that tell stories beyond words. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are reminded of how far society has come while cherishing those who paved the way for future generations' freedom to pursue their passions unapologetically.
