‘Beginning with some mementos from my shooting days in the Fifties, that were donated by my mother, Helen carefully chronicled every last detail of my career up until my retirement as a racing driver in 1973. It is a truly intimate portrait that shows the real side of the sometimes unreal life that Helen and I were both leading at the time.’ – Sir Jackie Stewart COLLAGE is Sir Jackie Stewart’s account of an incredible racing career, as told through the unseen archive of the Stewart family albums. Originally compiled by Sir Jackie’s wife, Lady Helen Stewart, the albums began in the early Sixties with a few press cuttings donated by Lady Helen’s mother-in-law. They grew into 17 volumes. A careful collation of those original albums, COLLAGE has been assembled under the personal guidance of Sir Jackie alongside his own in-depth commentary. This fascinating array of photographs, press cuttings, pit passes and other memorabilia tells the story of a truly remarkable sportsman and opens a window onto the halcyon days of Formula One.   COLLAGE begins with Sir Jackie’s early sports car and Formula Three races and culminates in his retirement after winning a third world championship in 1973. In between times was a relentlessly high-octane career that included racing in Formula One, Two and Three – often simultaneously – Le Mans, CanAm, the Indianapolis 500 twice and two eventful Tasman Series. He chalked up 27 Grand Prix victories in 99 starts, was awarded an OBE and, in 1966, suffered a near-fatal crash that led to him becoming a pioneering campaigner for improved driver safety. There were also film premieres, trips on ocean liners, the birth of his two children and even a royal wedding, all carefully documented by Lady Helen.

A ROYAL TRADITION

His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco has written the Foreword for COLLAGE. His involvement continues something of a tradition: previous books from Genesis Publications have included forewords from – and in some cases been signed by – HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; HRH Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales; and the late Lord Mountbatten.

In 35 years Genesis has created more than 50 signed limited editions with renowned authors as varied as they are many. Their limited editions are highly sought after, and feature in the collections of the world’s finest libraries, including New York Public Library’s Rare and Fine Printed Book Dept.

'As a proud Scot, Jackie Stewart survived at a time when few of the top Grand Prix
drivers lived beyond the sport. This book is a trip down memory lane in the most
vivid and explicit fashion.’
