EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Disagreeable Encounter on the Madrid-La Granja Motor Race" we are transported back to the early 20th century, where danger and excitement collide in a thrilling chase. The image depicts the car of Marques de San Gines being pursued by a thundering herd of bulls, creating an intense scene that captures both the beauty and peril of motor racing. Set against the picturesque Spanish countryside, this color lithograph showcases the bravery and skill required to navigate treacherous roads during a high-stakes race. The tension is palpable as the powerful animals charge towards the speeding automobile, their hooves kicking up dust in their relentless pursuit. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on July 16,1905, this artwork offers us a glimpse into a time when motorsport was still in its infancy. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology and safety measures. The clash between man-made machinery and untamed nature creates an unforgettable visual spectacle. This print not only celebrates speed and competition but also highlights our eternal struggle to conquer obstacles placed before us. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and danger, human ingenuity can prevail. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of our own capacity for resilience and determination – qualities that continue to drive progress in all aspects of life.
