Content of this listing © But for the Love of Cars. All rights reserved.
Wonderful 9x12" ad for Marchal, the French manufacturer of headlights. Ad features a print of a Geo Ham piece depicting a scene from the 1954 Le Mans 24 Hour race. Here, the #4 Scuderia Ferrari 375 Plus overtakes the outmatched #57 DB HBR. José Froilán González and Maurice Tringtinant drove the Ferrari to victory, with the C4-R taking third.
Text in French. Marchal logo printed at the bottom of the page.
Geo Ham, or Georges Hamel, was a French painter and illustrator whose illustrations of airplanes and automobiles frequently appeared in the French periodical
L'Illustration.
In 1931, Hamel was named an Official Peintre de l'Air, a title conferred by the French Ministry of Defense on artists who have devoted themselves to air and space subjects. Even so, Ham's work beautifully captures the speed, grit, and atmosphere of the heyday of motorsports.
About the Print
This print is printed on a midweight, low-gloss, coated magazine stock, removed from a damaged copy of the 1957 ACO magazine/yearbook "Cinquentenaire" issue, which celebrated the club's 50th anniversary. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest is France's largest automotive group, and the organizer of the annual Le Mans 24 Hour race.
Ad is in good vintage condition, with clean, sharp edges and corners, and a bright, clean surface. There are soft handling dimples across the page, as seen in the photo. When viewing from normal angles, these imperfections are more pronounced on the unprinted parts of the page than they are in the Geo Ham print. Page measures approximately 9.25" x 12.25" (26 x 32cm). (57ACO117 R118)
