EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Arthur Duray in his Lorraine-Dietrich, as he fearlessly competes in the Ardennes rally back in 1906. The image, beautifully rendered through a colour litho technique by Ernest Montaut, showcases Duray's remarkable driving skills and unwavering determination. As we gaze at this historic moment frozen in time, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. With a backdrop of lush woods and winding roads, Duray's car speeds through the landscape with unmatched velocity. Every detail of this exhilarating race is brought to life - from the intensity on Duray's face to the sheer power emanating from his motorcar. Duray's triumph becomes even more impressive when we learn that he completed an astounding 599 kilometres in just 5 hours and 38 minutes. This incredible feat solidifies his place among racing legends and cements his team's victory in this fierce competition. The print not only celebrates speed and competition but also pays homage to early motoring history. It reminds us of a time when cars were still a novelty, yet drivers like Duray pushed boundaries and tested their limits on treacherous terrains. With its vibrant colours and attention to detail, this artwork transports us back to an era where passion for speed collided with nature's untamed beauty. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity, daring spirit, and the timeless allure of automobile racing.
