EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment of Lautenschlager's white Mercedes racing in the 1908 Grand Prix. The race itself was notorious for its excessive tire consumption, with vast quantities being expended throughout. The color lithograph, created by Frederick Gordon Crosby and part of a private collection, showcases the thrilling atmosphere of this historic event. It is an illustration featured in "The Endless Quest for Speed" series, published by Autocar / Iliffe around 1938. In this early twentieth-century masterpiece, we witness Lautenschlager's powerful machine speeding along the racetrack with remarkable agility and grace. The image exudes a sense of excitement and adrenaline as it transports us back to a time when motor races were true spectacles. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the gleaming white car against the backdrop of a bustling crowd to the vividly colored racing circuit that stretches out before us. This artwork truly encapsulates both the beauty and intensity of motorsport. As we admire this stunning piece, we are reminded not only of Lautenschlager's incredible skill but also of the rapid development in automotive technology during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our endless pursuit of speed. Overall, this lithograph is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into history that allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in capturing such moments and their significance within our collective memory.
