Anton Stankowski
Original Vintage Mercedes Benz Poster Grand Prix de Belgique 1955

1955

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 1955 Belgian Grand Prix, held at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, was a dramatic race marked by the intense competition of the era. Juan Manuel Fangio, driving a Mercedes-Benz W196, secured a commanding victory, reinforcing his dominance in the 1955 Formula One season. This race is remembered for its high-speed action and Fangio's strategic brilliance, contributing to his remarkable championship campaign that year. 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.
