EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in the 1920s. On November 13,1927, Messrs General Motors Ltd organized a thrilling event known as the "Ole Crocks run to Brighton" which saw an array of vintage cars racing through the city's bustling roads. The atmosphere is electric as these classic vehicles showcase their timeless charm. In this particular snapshot captured by Alfieri, we witness one of these magnificent automobiles gracefully maneuvering its way through the busy street. Its sleek design and polished exterior are a testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century transport quirks. The image transports us into a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages once ruled these very same streets. It serves as a reminder of how rapidly technology has transformed our modes of transportation over time. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but imagine ourselves standing on that London pavement, witnessing history unfold before our eyes. The race to Brighton symbolizes not only a competition between drivers but also an ode to human ingenuity and progress. Alfieri's skillful composition captures both the excitement and nostalgia associated with this iconic event. This photograph stands as a testament to his talent for freezing moments in time, allowing future generations to appreciate Europeana's rich cultural heritage from behind their own lenses.
