EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of Boulogne Motor Week in France, back in 1928. The artist behind this masterpiece is Bill Brunell, who skillfully portrays a Citroen vehicle competing in a thrilling race. With its registration number 93 97-XB proudly displayed, this classic car stands as a symbol of automotive excellence from the early 20th century. The scene unfolds at the entrance gate of Boulogne Motor Week, where spectators eagerly gather to witness the intense competition. Amidst the crowd, a female driver dressed elegantly catches our attention with her fashionable hat and attire that perfectly embody the spirit of the roaring twenties. As she maneuvers through the challenging course, dust trails behind her moving Citroen car while showcasing its power and speed. This image not only celebrates motorsport but also highlights women's involvement in driving during an era when it was still considered unconventional. Bill Brunell's monochrome composition transports us back to this historic moment in time when motor cars were revolutionizing transportation and capturing people's imaginations. Preserved by Heritage Images and showcased here without any commercial intent, this vintage photograph serves as a testament to both technological advancements and timeless style that continue to inspire automobile enthusiasts today.
