EDITORS COMMENTS
Here is a possible caption for the photo print:
"William Kissam Vanderbilt (1849-1924), heir to the wealthy Vanderbilt family, takes time out of his busy philanthropic and business pursuits to indulge in his love of motor racing at this racetrack in 1910. The black-and-white photograph captures W.K. Vanderbilt's dashing figure as he stands confidently beside a sleek automobile, exuding an air of affluence and sophistication.
As one of the most prominent businessmen and philanthropists of his time, Vanderbilt was known for his generosity to various causes, including education and healthcare. His passion for motor racing reflects not only a love of speed but also a sense of adventure and competition that defined him as a man.
This photograph, taken by Bain News Service in 1910, offers a unique glimpse into the life of W.K. Vanderbilt during an era when America was experiencing rapid growth and change. The image has been preserved through Heritage Images for generations to come.
