About the Item
Germany, 1938 – Photograph by Peter Cornelius
In this beautifully composed summer scene, captured by Peter Cornelius in 1938, a young woman reclines atop the folded soft-top of a Ford V8 convertible, enjoying the sunshine in a carefree moment of leisure. Her pose is effortless and serene, with eyes closed and a smile of quiet contentment, as sunlight bathes her in warmth.
Framed by the distinctive rear of the classic Ford and set against a backdrop of trees, the image captures the elegance and freedom of prewar summer travel – where cars were not just transportation, but part of the lifestyle.
A timeless symbol of sunshine, youth, and automotive charm.
The print is new, a Fine Art Print on Illford Black and White Paper quality paper made by Whitewall. It comes to you in a tube.
