Sobre la obra
Wilfrid R. Addey (1912-1999) worked as a commercial artist for over sixty years, working for Dorland advertising and Mitchells among other London advertising firms. His work shows the range of products and illustration styles, from aeroplanes and cars, beer and perfume, to satirical cartoons and calendar pin-up girls and is representative of the post war boom in advertising during the late 1940s and 1950s.
This chalk drawing shows a late 1940s sports car zooming towards the bottom left corner of the sheet. The combination of black, white and blue chalk conveys the speed with which the car is being driven. Motor races became popular in Britain from the 1920s with race tracks such as Brooklands in Kent and continued to be popular in the late 1940s when Addey made this illustration.
