This photograph captures the winning moment at the Vanderbilt Cup Auto Race, won for the first time by an American driver named George Robertson. A bright white, overcast day offers a perfect backdrop to the dark shapes of a few of the race’s more than 200,000 spectators and Robertson’s triumphant “locomobile.” The passage of more than 100 years has turned this journalistic photograph into a nostalgic meditation on a bygone era in sports history.
