EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1936, showcases the allure of Art Deco motoring as a group of stylish women gather around a Wolseley Super Six car, parked at a vantage point overlooking an aviation display. The women, dressed in the height of 1930s fashion, exude elegance and modernity as they engage in animated conversation, their eyes fixed on the aerial spectacle unfolding before them. The Wolseley Super Six, a symbol of automotive luxury and sophistication during the era, sits proudly in the foreground, its sleek lines and streamlined design reflecting the Art Deco aesthetic that dominated the period. The car's elegant curves and understated elegance provide a striking contrast to the dynamic energy of the aviation display, with its daring pilots and their agile aircraft soaring through the sky above. The scene is a testament to the interconnected worlds of motoring and aviation during the 1930s, a time when both industries captured the imagination of the public and pushed the boundaries of technology and design. The women in the photograph embody the spirit of adventure and independence that characterized the era, as they take in the thrilling sights and sounds of the aviation display from the comfort and style of their Wolseley Super Six. This photograph, captured by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the evocative work of photographer Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of glamour, innovation, and excitement, where the allure of the open road and the boundless skies above held equal appeal.
