EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1930s, immersing ourselves in the exhilarating world of motor sports. The image captures a moment during the RAC Torquay rally, where competitors have gathered at the Ace of Spades garage on the Kingston-by-pass. Mrs B J M Streather and Miss Sleigh can be seen engrossed in studying a map, their determined expressions revealing their dedication to conquering this challenging race. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a testament to an era when women were breaking barriers and participating actively in traditionally male-dominated fields like motorcar racing. These two remarkable women embody strength and resilience as they prepare themselves for what lies ahead. The composition showcases various elements that define this thrilling sport: sleek automobiles with gleaming headlights ready to roar into action; drivers taking a well-deserved rest before continuing their journey; and the unmistakable logo of the Royal Automobile Club proudly displayed on one of the vehicles. Alfieri's masterful capture not only freezes time but also transports us into an era filled with adrenaline-fueled excitement. This photograph is more than just an image – it encapsulates history, passion, and determination all within its frame.
