ERA of Arthur Dobson Racing at Crystal Palace, London, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Thrilling Motorsport Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time during the heyday of motorsport. The year is 1939, and we find ourselves transported to the iconic Crystal Palace Race Meeting in London. Behind the wheel of his powerful ERA racing car, numbered 12, is none other than the legendary driver Arthur Charles Dobson. The talented artist Bill Brunell skillfully brings this scene to life with his monochrome depiction. The image showcases not only the sleek lines and classic beauty of Dobson's ERA 1488S cc but also highlights the impressive architectural backdrop that was once part of Sydenham's Crystal Palace. As our eyes wander through this snapshot from history, we are drawn to the majestic water tower standing tall amidst lush greenery and towering trees. The dilapidated ruins surrounding it serve as a reminder of bygone glory days when motor racing circuits like these were filled with excitement and adrenaline. With every detail meticulously captured by Brunell's skilled hand, we can almost feel the speed and hear the roar of engines as Dobson fearlessly navigates through bends on this historic track. This photograph transports us back to an era where motor racing was more than just a sport; it was an exhilarating spectacle that captivated audiences across Britain. Now preserved for posterity thanks to Heritage Images' dedication to preserving our rich cultural
