EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by TopFoto. co. uk, we are transported back to the historic moment of 4th September 1937 in England. The image showcases Mr A. C Dobson's unwavering support for his wife as he adjusts her helmet before she embarks on an exhilarating journey around the track in her Fiat. The setting is Donington Park Road circuit, near Derby, where the prestigious Royal Automobile Club International Tourist Trophy race took place for the first time in its history. Amidst a male-dominated field, Mrs A. C Dobson stands out as the sole female participant brave enough to conquer the challenging 310-mile course. This monochrome snapshot not only captures a tender moment between husband and wife but also symbolizes gender equality and breaking barriers during a time when women's participation in motorsports was still uncommon. It serves as a testament to Mrs A. C Dobson's determination and passion for racing. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of European photography from between the wars, we can't help but be inspired by both Mr A. C Dobson's supportive gesture and Mrs A. C Dobson's fearless spirit. This photograph immortalizes their shared love for speed, adventure, and pushing boundaries – qualities that continue to resonate with enthusiasts even today.
