EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of speed and power as Rudolf Caracciola races in his Mercedes-Benz during a motor sport event in 1938. The image, taken from a cigarette card series called "Speed: A Series of 50" by W. D. & H. O. Wills, Bristol, showcases the iconic German automobile in all its glory. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate the sleek design and aerodynamic shape of the car as it zooms past spectators on a race track. Caracciola, a renowned racing driver of his time, skillfully maneuvers the vehicle with precision and determination. The photograph not only highlights the excitement of motor racing but also provides an intriguing glimpse into Germany's automotive culture during this era. The presence of background people adds depth to the composition, emphasizing that this thrilling spectacle attracted attention from individuals across different walks of life. With its clean lines and white color contrasting against the dark backdrop, this image perfectly encapsulates both motion and stillness simultaneously - capturing a fleeting moment frozen in time. As we admire this stunning piece of panoramic photography from Willss Cigarettes collection, we are transported back to an exhilarating chapter in automotive history where speed was king and Rudolf Caracciola reigned supreme behind the wheel.
