like this dapper fellow (guess who...):

 

Ah well. I guess i couldn't keep it a secret forever.

That's twice in one month.

 

I unwittingly stumbled upon your goldmine! ha!

tons of great images there.

A long time ago I came across a website selling the most wonderful pre-ww1 race car images, all in Glicee, large format just super expensive. Had this story about how they "found" this collection. Well...the reason I think they went away is that they had very neatly copied some other peoples work.

On a side note, I do know where all those "pictures" from Lartigue now come from, cause i got a complete copy of the book. Now if I could just score a copy of the Montaut book...
