EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determined spirit of Mrs Dugast at the start of the "Paris-Madrid" race. Taken by a French photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the excitement and anticipation that filled the air on that fateful day. Mrs Dugast stands confidently beside her automobile, ready to embark on an epic journey from Paris to Madrid. The intensity in her eyes reveals her passion for adventure and her determination to conquer this challenging race. Her elegant attire adds a touch of grace amidst the mechanical marvels surrounding her. This image is not just a snapshot of history but also serves as an illustration for A Paris vers 1900 by Louis Cheronnet, published in Chroniques du Jour in 1932. It transports us back to a time when automobiles were still a novelty, capturing both the technological progress and societal changes taking place during this era. The composition highlights not only Mrs Dugast's bravery but also pays homage to France's rich automotive heritage. The blurred background suggests movement and speed, hinting at the thrilling race about to unfold. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of motor racing. It serves as a testament to human ambition and our unyielding desire for exploration.
