This print captures the essence of Giulio Foresti, an esteemed Italian racing car driver, standing proudly next to a motor car chassis. The photograph was taken on the rooftop of Bryanston Garage, located at 45-45 Crawford Place in Marylebone, London. Giulio Foresti's passion for motorsport is palpable as he poses confidently beside the sleek and powerful machine. His determined gaze reflects his unwavering dedication to his craft. This image is part of a remarkable set taken by Bedford Lemere & Co between December 1918 and January 1919. Foresti's connection to Bryanston Garage adds another layer of intrigue to this snapshot from history. It is believed that he was not only a talented racer but also the owner of this prestigious establishment. Bedford Lemere & Co's expert eye has beautifully captured both Foresti's charisma and the intricate details of the motor car chassis against the backdrop of London's skyline. The timeless quality of this photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment frozen forever in history. As we admire this piece from Historic England's collection, we are reminded not only of Giulio Foresti's significant contribution to motorsport but also how photography can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
