From the original linocut Linocut (c.1932).  Printed from three blocks: Viridian; Permanent Blue; Chinese Blue. This is Malcolm Campbell’s ‘Bluebird’ which set a new world land speed record of just over 246 miles per hour at Daytona Beach, Florida, 1931. The helmet Campbell wears is only just visible – man has become dynamic machine.
