EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "AUTO RACE, c1922" captures the thrilling atmosphere of an early automobile race on a curved wooden track near Washington, D. C. The image showcases the excitement and speed of these early races, with a flag man in the foreground signaling the start or end of a race. Taken in 1922 by an American photographer, this photo is a testament to the growing popularity of auto racing during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into the world of entertainment and adrenaline-fueled competition that captivated audiences at the time. The wooden racetrack adds a unique touch to this image, reminding us of how far technology has come since then. In an age where concrete tracks dominate modern racing circuits, this photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when cars raced on more rustic surfaces. As we admire this historic snapshot from nearly a century ago, it's impossible not to feel drawn into the action unfolding before our eyes. The determination etched onto each driver's face reflects their hunger for victory while showcasing their bravery in navigating such treacherous curves. Preserved by the Library of Congress' vast collection, this remarkable piece offers us both historical significance and artistic beauty. It stands as evidence that even back then, auto racing was much more than just another sport—it was an exhilarating display of human skill and daring against all odds.
