EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in the exhilarating world of motor racing. The image showcases the arrival of the winning car, a Mors, driven by the skilled Fernand Gabriel on Michelin tires, as it crosses the finishing line in Bordeaux during the renowned Paris-Madrid motor race. The race itself was an extraordinary spectacle that gripped France and Europe in 1903. However, due to numerous accidents involving both drivers and spectators along the treacherous route, French parliament decided to terminate the race prematurely at Bordeaux. Despite this setback, nothing could dampen the excitement and thrill that filled the air as Gabriel emerged victorious. In this vibrant color lithograph from a private collection, we witness Gabriel's triumphant moment amidst cheering crowds and eager onlookers. The sheer speed and power of his racing car are palpable as it zooms past with unparalleled grace.

It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination while showcasing France's rich automotive heritage. With its dynamic composition and vivid colors, this print is sure to captivate any motorsport enthusiast or admirer of early 20th-century history.
