The document discusses images taken by Gary Marlowe to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Rolls-Royce mascot known as the Spirit of Ecstasy. The mascot, originally known as the Spirit of Speed, was designed by Charles Sykes and first appeared in 1911. It has changed design 11 times over the years but is now synonymous with Rolls-Royce and luxury. The images were taken at various events in 2011 and feature both vintage and modern versions of the mascot.
