Premier Course Nationale de Cote du Marchairuz, 27 et 28 Septembre 1958 - Excellent Condition - Official Race Poster, artwork by Hanns W. Witschi


This poster was created to advertise and launch the first race of this series. Most issues of this artwork appear on other races held in 1959, but this is the earliest iteration of this artwork on poster that I've found to date.

Original, large format lithograph printed poster, 18 x 25 in excellent condition.

I actually have two of these posters from the estate of race car driver Mr. W.P. Semon. Both posters carry the tax stamps from when Mr. Semon left the country after the race and had to declare them at customs checkpoint. They have been stored in a poster tube and never folded. 

POSTER #2: NEAR MINT 
  • Has pin hole in each corner from being hung at one point many years ago. I hung it with magnets for its photo session.
  • Tax stamp at bottom right corner required at the time of manufacture for export from Switzerland, provides proof of provenance and age.
  • Any white flecks that appear in black title lettering is not a defect, but an artifact of the lithograph printing of these poster. Both posters I'm selling have these artifacts in the same letters and placement. (See my other listing for comparison: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204314859653 )
  • The green coloring among inidividual photos shown may vary in shade/hue between photos due to this nightmare this poster was to photograph due to its frustrating ability to morph its appearance on camera depending upon how near or far, the angle at which your standing, and any reflections of light that it may pick up from across the street. The photograph of the whole poster is the best to judge as to the actual color. Crazy enough, it doesn't appear to change colors in real life while you're standing in front of it.
  • Please also see my listing for the accompanying 1re Course de Cote Nationale du Marchairuz 1958 Original Race Program. Number hand written on front of program applied by race administrator, reserved for for Driver #22, William P Semon Jr. whose name appears in the program in the line up of drivers competing in the race.
