Description: Vintage 1958, Original 11 x 15 Poster, 24 Hours of Le Mans, June 21-22, 1958 Vintage 1958 original 11x15 poster of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held on June 21-22, 1958. The poster features Michel Beligond’s vibrant art and reads “24 heures du Mans 21 et 22 Juin.” These posters belonged to race car driver William P Semon Jr who competed across Europe in the 1950s and ‘60s. Four posters are available for sale in excellent to mint conditions; they have never been mounted or hung and have been stored rolled up in a poster storage tube. Apart from periodic handling to show them off, they likely haven’t seen a full day’s light since they were acquired by Mr. Semon in 1958.This original vintage motorsports poster highlights artwork by Michel Beligond, a French automobile artist and designer whose style became the signature for Le Mans and Formula One Grand Prix races, giving their advertising, posters, programs, and other design artifacts a timeless appeal. The 1958 poster depicts a red number 24 racing car driving at high speed on the race track towards the viewer with a second sports car following closely behind.POSTER #1 NEAR MINT Minor wear at top right edge of posterThe reverse of this poster also has an approximate 1 inch surface scuff that does not penetrate or show through paper to impact the image on the front. I will try to take a photograph of it, though I'm a bit apprehensive to attempt to hang these freely again.Why? See next bullet point....Small, approx 1 centimeter, tear at bottom left corner (that I did when hanging this poster to photograph - yes they are delicate and I am extremely upset with myself.) It is within the 1 inch margin of impact keeping me from knocking the grade of this poster down a rung. *** Will consider all reasonable offers! *** ALL SALES ARE FINAL, so please send any questions regarding purchase beforehand. The image provided is one of my posters as I have yet to photograph each one due to less than ideal conditions for poster photography; however, all four posters are in pristine condition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------WHATNOTS 25th Street Peddler Notices: Most products sold by WHATNOTS are previously-owned and are sold as-is, final sale unless otherwise marked or noted.
