In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorsports in the 1930s. The image captures the intense preparations taking place at Brooklands race track for an upcoming international trophy race. As drivers gear up for the big event scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, there is an air of excitement and anticipation. Amidst all the action, our focus is drawn towards Mrs Wisdom as she fearlessly practices on the iconic Brooklands track in her Riley car. With determination etched on her face, she speeds through the curves and straightaways with remarkable skill and precision. Her presence challenges gender norms of that era, showcasing women's growing involvement in male-dominated sports. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph while emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a window into a bygone era between two devastating wars when people sought solace and thrills through sporting events like these races. This press photograph from May 1st, 1936 not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes resilience and passion amidst uncertain times. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance during challenging periods throughout history. Courtesy of TopFoto. co. uk's extensive collection of European photography from that period, we can appreciate both the technical prowess required for such races and their cultural impact on society during those years.
