Mallard, the great locomotive of the London and Northeastern Railway set the all time fastest speed for a steam locomotive on July 3, 1938. The Talbot T150 SS was one of the fastest cars in Europe in the late 1930's. The two vehicles were never in close proximity, but just imagine a long stretch of straight railway tracks running parallel to the highway. The young lady in the Talbot challenges Mallard as they race flat out in our imagination. This is a photo of the original artwork. The original painting is 30" x 19 1/2".
