Artist: WALTER THOR (1870-1929) Size: 62 3/4 x 46 1/4 in./159.2 x 117.5 cm Affiches Kossuth, Paris In the early days of motoring, winning a race was virtually a prerequisite to finding a market for a new make of car. Here, Darracq draws attention to its recent triumphs, including a hard-fought first place in the Vanderbilt Cup race on October 14, 1905, with Victor Hemery at the wheel. The design itself is quite remarkable: a calm, steady driver contrasting against the wild sparks bursting off the front wheels, proving that anyone can tame this most fierce of vehicles.

B+/ Slight tears at folds & edges.
