EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British motor racing history. Taken in 1922 at the JCC hillclimb in South Harting, Sussex, the image showcases Mrs. Hawkes fearlessly competing in her Talbot Open 2-seater. The vintage car, with its sleek design and powerful 970 cc engine, stands out against the rustic countryside backdrop. The photograph exudes an air of excitement as spectators line the avenue to witness this thrilling display of speed and skill. Mrs. Hawkes, a pioneering female driver of her time, confidently maneuvers around a bend on the winding lane while kicking up clouds of dust behind her. Bill Brunell expertly captures this historic moment with his monochrome lens, showcasing not only Mrs. Hawkes' determination but also highlighting the growing popularity of motor sport during the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another era, we are transported back to a time when cars were still considered a novelty and women breaking barriers were celebrated. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality within motorsport. Preserved by Heritage Images and housed within the National Motor Museum's collection, this print is not just an artifact; it is a testament to human progress and our unyielding pursuit for adventure on wheels.
