This is a reproduction of a vintage Grand Prix International poster promoting the 1948 motor race held at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. The event, which ran on July 10-11, 1948, was the 24 Hours of Spa endurance race.
Poster Information
Event: Grand Prix International (1948 24 Hours of Spa endurance race)
Location: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, near Francorchamps and Stavelot, Belgium
Date: 10-11 July 1948
Design: The striking design features a red Aston Martin DB1 racing car against a 24-hour clock face, cleverly divided into a dark, starry night sky and a bright, blue day sky, symbolizing the race's duration.
Artist: The poster is often attributed to the artist Sam Kal (or Somar Kal) in modern reproductions. A different poster for the Belgian Grand Prix (a separate event scheduled the same year) was designed by E.A. Hermans.
The 1948 race was particularly significant as the first win by Aston Martin in an international event.
