Original 1958 Michel Beligond poster for the 24 Heures du Mans (21–22 June 1958).
This Swiss‑printed 11" x 14" lithograph is in MINT condition — it was rolled and stored in a poster tube since acquisition and has never been mounted or displayed. Colors are bright, paper edges are crisp, and there are no tears, creases, foxing, or discoloration.
Michel Beligond is one of the premier motorsport artists of the era; his Le Mans work is highly collectible for its painterly energy and iconic postwar racing imagery. This piece captures a red #24 sports car charging toward the viewer under the Dunlop arch — an instantly recognizable Le Mans composition.
Provenance: From a period racing collection assembled in the 1950s by a European competitor and later kept in a private U.S. collection. I’ve previously sold two slightly flawed copies at $1,200 each; this mint, unrestored example is priced to reflect true collector value.

Framing & preservation (for buyers)
Recommended: archival float‑mount on acid‑free board with UV‑filtering glazing (Tru Vue Museum Glass or similar). A thin black metal or black painted natural wood frame suits the mid‑century look. Avoid direct sun and high humidity. I can arrange UV protected professional archival framing at buyer’s expense. Please reach out for a cost estimate before purchase.
Shipping & packing
Insured shipping via a premium carrier to full sale value. It will be shipped rolled inside of heavy stock poster tube just as it was acquired. I will pair it with a larger, outer paper protective shield before inserting into tube. The tube will be capped and plastic wrapped for waterproofed protection. The tube will ship in a heavy duty shipping box for transit and delivery.
