About the Item

This poster prominently features a sleek, aerodynamic Mercedes-Benz race car, likely the iconic 300 SLR, which was a standout in the 1955 racing season. The car is depicted in a dramatic and streamlined manner, highlighting its advanced design and speed. The 18th International ADAC Eifel Race, held in 1955 at the Nürburgring circuit, was a significant event in the sports car racing calendar. The race featured a competitive field, with Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson driving a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR to victory, showcasing the car's remarkable performance. This event was part of a remarkable season for Mercedes-Benz, reflecting their engineering prowess and Moss's driving skill. Mercedes-Benz, a name synonymous with luxury and engineering prowess, has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. Founded by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, the brand has been a pioneer in automotive innovation. By 1955, Mercedes-Benz was well-established as a leading manufacturer in both luxury and racing cars. The 1955 racing season was particularly notable for the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, driven by legendary drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. This model dominated the sports car racing scene and was celebrated for its impressive performance and engineering. Anton Stankowski (1906-1998) was a pioneering German graphic designer and typographer known for his innovative work in visual communication and design. His groundbreaking approach to visual abstraction and systematic design principles left a lasting impact on modern graphic design, particularly through his influential work with corporate identity and visual branding. This is an original vintage poster. It is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
