Original vintage Swiss motorsport poster advertising the first Marchairuz hill climb event at Col du Marchairuz, Switzerland:
Première Course Nationale de Côte du Marchairuz
27 et 28 septembre 1958
This is an original lithograph race poster, not a reproduction, featuring the striking red Maserati 250F and classic period artwork by Hanns W. Witschi.
Condition: MINT.
This poster is truly mint and has been stored rolled in a poster tube for nearly its entire life. It is printed on a heavier-weight paper stock, not the thin tissue-like paper used for many other posters of the era.
The poster was only handled in 1958 for the original owner’s possession and export tax stamp, and recently by me for careful photography. It has never been folded.
Provenance:
This poster came from the estate of driver W.P. Semon and was passed down through the family. The original Suisse tax stamp remains affixed at the bottom right corner, supporting its age and provenance.
Additional notes:
>> Original vintage lithograph
>> Approx. size: 18 x 25 in.
>> Rare and highly collectible Swiss racing poster
>> Strong color and superb display presence
>> One of the earliest examples of this Marchairuz event artwork that I have found
Any small white flecks visible in the black title lettering are part of the original lithographic printing and are not defects.
