EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment of competition in the RAC Rally of 1939. In this historic rally, we witness two remarkable women drivers, Miss I. M. Burton and C. G. Dunham, maneuvering their powerful automobiles through a challenging bend on an avenue. The Vauxhall 10, with its impressive 1203 cc engine and registration number ADY777, proudly takes center stage as Miss Burton fearlessly commands the wheel. Her determination is palpable as she skillfully navigates the corner, showcasing her prowess in motor sport. Meanwhile, in the background stands a sleek Rover Saloon 2147 (registration number 184), driven by C. G. Dunham. The contrast between these classic cars adds to the allure of this snapshot from British motoring history. As we delve into this image frozen in time, we are transported back to April 1939 when adrenaline-filled rallies like these captivated audiences across Britain's winding roads. The atmosphere is electric as spectators line both sides of the street to catch a glimpse of these daring women defying societal norms and embracing their passion for speed. With its monochrome aesthetic capturing every detail with precision, this photograph serves as a testament to not only the grit and determination displayed by Miss I. M. Burton and C. G. Dunham but also to all women who have shattered stereotypes throughout history.
