EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster captures the excitement and danger of the Thousand Mile Race (Mille Miglia) in Italy, held on 30-31 May 1959 by the Automobile Club Brescia. The vibrant colors of orange, white, and green evoke a sense of speed and adrenaline as racing cars tear through the picturesque northern Italian landscape.
However, despite the thrilling spectacle depicted in this artwork, tragedy struck during the 1957 race when a horrific accident claimed ten lives, including that of Count de Portago driving a Ferrari 335S. As a result, this event was cancelled after 1957, making this poster a rare and poignant reminder of a bygone era in motorsport history.
The intricate design and attention to detail in this print showcase the passion and dedication that went into organizing such an iconic race. From the sleek curves of the racing cars to the dynamic composition that draws viewers into the heart of the action, every element is expertly crafted to capture the essence of speed and competition.
Whether you're a fan of vintage racing memorabilia or simply appreciate fine artistry, this poster is sure to make a striking addition to any collection. It serves as both a celebration of past glories and a sobering reminder of the risks involved in pushing boundaries on the racetrack.
