EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Clash of Two Mechanical Monsters" captures a heart-stopping moment during a speed test in Staten Island, New York, back in 1928. The image showcases the aftermath of an intense accident involving two rival cars and their fearless drivers. Champion Jackson's car was violently thrown out of control during the race, launching him into another competitor's vehicle. Despite the sheer force and impact of this collision, both drivers miraculously escaped with only minor injuries. This dramatic incident serves as a testament to their skill and resilience behind the wheel. Illustrated for Courier Sunday on July 8th, 1928, this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame offers a vivid glimpse into the world of early automobile racing. It highlights not only the dangers involved but also the determination and passion that drove these pioneers forward. The clash between these mechanical monsters symbolizes both the thrill and risks associated with high-speed trials. It reminds us that even in moments of great adversity, human ingenuity can prevail against all odds. This remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images transports us back to an era when motor vehicles were still relatively new inventions. It celebrates American innovation while showcasing the bravery and tenacity displayed by these early drivers on tracks across America.
