Seeing The Century

November 2023
1min read

To commemorate the passing of the most eventful hundred years since the race began, we have selected one hundred pictures, one for each year, following the single (but strictly enforced) rule that each picture must have been created in the vcar it represents. The result is not an anthology of the most significant news events, or of the best art, or of the most seismic jubilations of the popular culture; but it is a narrative, and in its simulacrum of the untidy ongoing vitality of life, we hope that it conveys something of the shape, the color, and the achievements of an epoch.

The Editors


The golf links lie so near the mill That almost every day The laboring children can look out And see the men at play.

We hope you enjoy our work.
