Penya Rhin Grand Prix Auto Racing Spain

The Penya Rhin Grand Prix motor racing event was staged at three different circuits in Spain (Vilafranca del Penedes 1921-1923, Montjuic 1933-1936, Pedralbes 1946, 1948, 1950, 1954). The 1922 II Gran Premio do Penya Rhin was won by the Irish born driver Kenelm Lee Guinness (in a Talbot-Darracq 56 car). Villafranca in Catalonia Spain held auto racing events on public roads from 1908-1920, followed by a 9 mile circuit around the town from 1921-1923 when it was replaced by the purpose built Autodrom de Sitges Terramar circuit. Founded in 1916, the Royal Moto Club of Catalonia organised the Armangue Trophy from 1921-1923. Printed by I.G. Seix & Barral S.A. Barcelona. Horizontal. Fair condition, fading, restored paper tears and loss on margins, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
