THE LAST EYE WITNESS
THE PIONEERING MOTOR RACING PHOTOGRAPHY OF MAURICE LOUIS BRANGER 1902-1914
The Last Eye Witness is, at the same time, a book about motor racing and an art book.
Published together for the first time, this unique collection features more than 160 images from celebrated photographer, Maurice Louis Branger.
Illustrating a pioneering age of motor racing, Branger’s original glass plate negatives are expertly reproduced and showcase the efforts of the bold and the brave, from 1902-1914.
From early city-to-city races such as the 1902 Paris-Vienna, to the Grand Prix 'revival' of 1914, this amazing account of one of motor racing’s most evocative and innovative periods includes authoritative, and superbly detailed accompanying text by Doug Nye, the world’s leading motorsport historian and author.
