EDITORS COMMENTS
Betty Lemitte, a fearless motorcyclist of the 1930s, strikes a pose on her powerful 499 cc Rudge Ulster motorcycle in this print by artist Bill Brunell. The photograph captures an era when women were breaking barriers and embracing their love for speed and adventure. Dressed elegantly in her stylish attire, Betty exudes confidence as she confidently sits astride her beloved vintage motorbike. Her hat adds a touch of sophistication to the scene while her loyal canine companion stands faithfully by her side. The location remains unidentified, leaving us to wonder about the exciting event that brought together such passionate riders. Bill Brunell's artistic eye skillfully captures the essence of this momentous time in British history. His monochrome composition emphasizes the timeless beauty of both Betty and her trusty Rudge Ulster motorcycle. This image transports us back to an avenue lined with curious onlookers, capturing the spirit of freedom that defined motorcycling during this period. As we admire this remarkable portrait from our past, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of road transport and gender equality. Betty Lemitte's determination paved the way for future generations of female riders who continue to challenge societal norms today.
