About the Poster: This vibrant 1948 poster advertises the horse races of La Capelle in the Aisne department of France. Held across several dates from May to September, these prestigious races boasted a prize pool of 3,000,000 francs, drawing both participants and spectators from across the region. The dynamic composition captures the energy and speed of harness racing, a popular sport in postwar France. Produced by Ateliers Franquel in Paris, the poster’s bold colors and lively illustration reflect the post-war enthusiasm for public events and the return of traditional festivities.
Poster is lovely, vibrant and in very good condition, linen backed. A great gift for an equestrian!
