Two of the best-known names of 1930s British motor racing were Dick
Seaman – racing driver – and George Monkhouse – motor racing
photographer. As Dick’s racing exploits earned him an unprecedented
place in the Third Reich’s Mercedes-Benz racing team, so George
Monkhouse elevated motor sports photography into an artform.
Their fascinating private correspondence –
plus a similarly unpublished personal narrative by Dick’s formidable
mother – provides the backbone of this unique Palawan book.
