EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured on the 13th of January, 1928, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of anticipation before the start of the London to Exeter Motor Trial. The image showcases a determined female competitor seated in an open two-seater car, preparing herself for the challenging journey ahead. With her hands delicately adjusting foot warmers beneath her shoes, she exhibits both grace and determination. Her focused expression reveals a sense of excitement mixed with nerves as she readies herself for what promises to be an exhilarating sporting event. The vintage landscape setting further adds to the charm and nostalgia evoked by this remarkable print. The English countryside serves as a picturesque backdrop, hinting at the adventure that awaits beyond its rolling hills and winding roads. Photographer H. F. Davis skillfully captures not only the physicality of this pre-race ritual but also manages to convey a deeper narrative about strength, resilience, and breaking societal barriers. In an era when women's participation in sports was still relatively uncommon, this image stands as a testament to their growing presence in male-dominated arenas. As we gaze upon this timeless piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, we are reminded of how far society has come while celebrating those who paved the way for future generations through their unwavering passion and determination.
