Vintage Original 1961 Monaco Grand Prix Counter-Top Poster.
An a very simple and relatively small but oh so rare poster...
These posters could be seen hanging throughout the principality of Monaco prior to the race in 1961 but this one is a little more special...
This particular one is executed as a counter-top version and it is the very first one in this execution that we ever managed to lay our hands on.
This poster features the best logo we have ever seen with the racing car and "MONACO" perfectly integrated into it!
Rumour has it that this poster was banned by the organizers as they deemed the black background to be too morbid at that time. Maybe the rumour is true... but we don't have knowledge of an alternative poster for the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix... so...
The race was, famously, won by Stirling Moss on Lotus 18 ahead of Richie Ginther, Phil Hill and Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, all on Ferrari 156 Sharknose.
Considering its age, it is over half a century old, we dare to call this unusual Monaco "poster" to be in mint condition.
9.8 x 12.5 inches or some 25 x 30 cm.
Only 1 available.
