VII Wyscig Pokoju (Peace Race)
Warszawa-Berlin-Praha (Warsaw, Berlin, Prague)
2-17 V 1954

Own a piece of history for your wall! This incredible print gives you a large-scale reproduction of a historic commemorative poster from the golden era of competitive racing. From Brett Horton’s vast collection of vintage cycling posters and photography, this rare piece (original is worth thousands of dollars) features the official poster of the 1954 “Peace Race”, which brought together the best cyclists of the Eastern Bloc. With stages in the largest cities of Poland (Warsaw), Germany (Berlin), and Czechoslovakia (Prague), the race was witnessed annually by millions of post-war European citizens starved for big-time sporting action. With a breathtaking scene that captures the thrill of seeing the leading team (represented by the light blue jersey adorned with a white dove) speed through an urban thoroughfare, this is both a historic work of vintage cycling art, and a beautiful piece for the wall of home or office! Reproduced faithfully from the Polish original, and printed on heavy gallery-quality paper stock, this is perfect for framing, and will become the centerpiece of your cycling collection.
