EDITORS COMMENTS
This Pochoir print transports us back to the thrilling world of motor racing in the early 1910s, specifically to the French Grand Prix of 1913. The vibrant blue car at the heart of the image charges forward, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The dynamic composition expertly conveys the sense of speed and excitement that defined this era of automobile racing. The print, created using the Pochoir technique, showcases the intricate detail and rich colors that characterize this unique form of lithography. The technique involved the application of colored stencils to the print, allowing for precise and detailed depictions of the scene. The crowd of onlookers, dressed in fashionable early 20th-century attire, add a sense of grandeur and spectacle to the event. The names of some of the notable figures in the scene are inscribed below, including M. Gamy, Mme Marguerite Montaut, and M. Mabileau. The names of the drivers and their teams are not mentioned, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The French Grand Prix, held at Le Mans, was one of the most prestigious motor races of the time. The 1913 edition was the fifth running of the event and marked a significant milestone in the history of motor racing. This Pochoir print offers a fascinating glimpse into this bygone era, capturing the essence of a time when the thrill of speed and the allure of the automobile were at the forefront of popular culture.
