24 Heures Du Mans 1958 Beligond
Original vintage motorsport poster for the 24 Heures du Mans on 21 and 22 June 1958 featuring dynamic artwork by Michel Beligond (1927-1973) of a red number 24 classic racing car driving at speed on the race track towards the viewer with its headlights on, another sports car driving behind below a Dunlop branded sponsorship arch with a cheering crowd of spectators on the side below flags flying against the evening sky over the circuit, the title above and date below. The 1958 24 Hours Le Mans was the 26th Grand Prix Endurance event held on the Circuit de la Sarthe course; despite a sunny start, the weather soon changed to rainstorms leading to a number of serious accidents; the race was won by the Belgian driver Olivier Gendebien (1924-1998) and the American driver Phil Hill (1927-2008) from team Scuderia Ferrari in a Ferrari 250 TR/58 car; the number 24 racing car was driven by British drivers Peter Jopp and Percy Crabb in a Peerless GT Coupe car. Good condition, restored tears, restored paper losses, restored pinholes, minor staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour 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, I 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 £35 for orders placed via our website.
