Tour de France, Official Race Poster

This poster is an original first printing, not a reproduction.

Exhibition Provenance: This original vintage bicycle poster was showcased at the 2018 L’Etape California by Le Tour de France Historic Tour de France Exhibit.

These Tour de France maps were created for fans to follow along with each days stage results and race progress.  Each finishing stage has a place on the map to record the stage winners and overall leaders.

This example has a fantastic mid-century style and graphics.

This poster has been archivally and professionally linen backed.  Virtually all original vintage posters of this era were viewed as temporary advertising and were printed on very thin paper. While expensive, linen backing is a conservation method used to mount, stabilize, preserve and protect vintage posters so they can be displayed or framed without compromising value. We take great care to insure the posters in our collection are linen backed by a very competent professional in France who uses acid-free materials and executes a process that is entirely reversible.

Size: 51.5 x 66 cm (20.25 x 26 inches)

Condition: A-.  Linen backed

This is a one of a kind item; please review the photos carefully to determine condition.
