EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a thrilling moment in history, as A H Horton fearlessly races around a corner with his partner leaning off the sidecar. The year is 1938, between the wars, when road racing was at its peak. The monochrome image perfectly encapsulates the essence of this era - an exhilarating time filled with speed, competition, and adrenaline. John Topham's skillful photography transports us to a bygone age where motorbike races were not just events but spectacles that drew crowds from all over. As Horton leans into the turn on his powerful motorcycle, you can almost feel the excitement radiating from him. The spectators lining the race track are captivated by every twist and turn, their eyes fixed on these daredevils pushing themselves to their limits. The composition beautifully captures both action and stillness simultaneously - showcasing both movement and frozen moments in time. It reminds us of how much courage it took for these riders to navigate through challenging circuits like Crystal Palace. This photograph serves as a testament to Europeana photography's ability to transport us back in time and immerse ourselves in historical moments. It allows us to appreciate not only the skill of these racers but also their passion for speed and adventure that continues to inspire generations even today.
