My French speaking friend Jen Bergin tells me the photo depicts a race between a train and a car ‘two American reporters trying to nab a sensational story attempt to catch and overtake an express train in a powerful racing car. They want to arrive before detectives sent on the chase for an escaped gangster’.
There you go, i just like the image!…
