1912 Silver gelatin photograph of auto racing legend Ralph De Palma behind the wheel of his Mercedes that won the famous Elgin Auto Race. Stamped on the back by the Central Press, the photo has exceptional clarity and quality with pinholes from editorial use being the only real flaws. Stamped on the back by the famous Burke and Atwell studio, this is one of the best images of DePalma we have ever offered.
