EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Man-Slaying Motor" captures a moment frozen in time that is both thrilling and ominous. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the power and danger of early automobiles. The image transports us to Staten Island, where the Baker Motor Company's racing car dominates the scene. The sheer force emanating from this machine is palpable as it stands like a juggernaut ready to unleash its might on the road ahead. This motor exudes an aura of invincibility but also hints at potential tragedy. Intriguingly, this photo was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in June 1902. It serves as a stark reminder of how far automotive technology has progressed since then while highlighting the inherent risks associated with these early vehicles. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, our minds are filled with questions about accidents that may have occurred during those pioneering days of automobile racing. We ponder whether this man-slaying motor lived up to its foreboding name or if it managed to navigate through Ohio's streets unscathed. With every detail meticulously captured by the skilled photographer behind this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in automotive history. This print not only celebrates photography's ability to document significant events but also reminds us of our never-ending fascination with speed and machines that can both thrill and endanger us simultaneously.
