EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Dorothy Levitt, known as "the Fastest Girl on Earth". Created by Frederick Hammersley Ball, this artwork showcases Levitt's groundbreaking achievements in the world of motorsports. Commissioned for Tatler Magazine, it beautifully portrays Levitt as a trailblazing figure who defied gender norms and shattered records. Levitt, born on January 5th, 1882, was not only the first British woman to compete in a motor race but also held numerous speed records during her career. The image depicts her poised confidently beside a car, adorned with record-breaking scarves and gloves that symbolize her triumphs on the racetrack. The painting transports us back to an era when female racers were a rarity. Levitt's determination and passion shine through her gaze as she dons a stylish hat that perfectly complements her motoring attire. Her presence challenges societal expectations while embodying grace and strength. Ball's attention to detail brings Levitt's story to life; every brushstroke highlights her pioneering spirit and love for speed. This print serves as a reminder of Levitt's significant contribution to both motorsports history and women's empowerment. Displayed at Bourne Gallery in Reigate, Surrey, this piece is now part of a private collection but continues to inspire generations with its timeless depiction of courage and ambition.
