"Number 7: A Journey Through Time and Luck" Step into the world of number 7, where history intertwines with fortune. In 1958, at the RAC Tourist Trophy race in Goodwood, Sussex, an unknown creator captured a momentous event. Maria Teresa de Filippis stands proudly beside her fiery Red Maserati 250F before her daring crash. But let's not forget the tales that have immortalized this number. From the enchanting story of Little Tom Thumb to Dante's chilling depiction of The Seventh Circle Inferno, its significance resonates through centuries. In that same year at Goodwood, Duncan Hamilton fearlessly maneuvers his Jaguar D type on the track. The start of the RAC Tourist Trophy race ignites excitement and anticipation among both drivers and spectators alike. Beyond literature and racing circuits lies another facet – luck. A vibrant comic set of numerals reminds us that it is often associated with good fortune. Green plastic dice displaying lucky sevens add a touch of whimsy to our lives. The Brothers Grimm bring their own twist to this mystical digit with "The Seven Ravens. " Their chromolithograph from 1898 transports us into a fairy tale realm where magic unfolds. Yet amidst these fantastical realms, we encounter King Henry VII himself – a ruler whose reign shaped history forevermore. As we delve deeper into time's embrace, we find ourselves transported to Brooklands in Surrey during the early twentieth century. Bill Brunell's artistry captures Three Talbot-Darracqs competing fiercely at the JCC 200 Mile Race in 1922 while W Bickell skillfully handles his Singer during the same event in 1921. Number seven holds within it stories untold and fortunes yet discovered. It symbolizes bravery on racetracks and whispers promises of luck when rolled upon green felt tables or spun between eager fingers.
