EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating motorcycling races at Brands Hatch on Easter Sunday in 1939. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness W C Lock fearlessly navigating a bend on his scramblers bike. The image transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the interwar period, where dirt bikes ruled the tracks and adrenaline filled the air. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from the past, emphasizing both the raw power of these machines and the determination etched on Lock's face as he tackles the challenging terrain. His helmet and goggles serve as symbols of protection against potential dangers that lie ahead, while also showcasing his dedication to this thrilling sport. As we delve into Europeana photography archives, we are reminded of how motorsports have always united people across generations and borders. This photograph serves as a testament to that shared passion for speed, competition, and pushing boundaries. John Topham's skillful composition allows us to feel every speckle of mud splattering off Lock's scrambler during those intense trials races. It is an homage not only to one rider but also to all those who participated in these high-octane events during that iconic era between two world wars
