Conditions Explained:
It is important to remember that you are buying an original vintage fine art poster an not a reproduction of any kind. We do not use terms like “mint” or “near mint” condition, as they are highly subjective. Each of our pieces is photographed in high quality so you can zoom in and view the poster in greater detail. In addition we use the following IVPDA (International Vintage Poster Dealers Association) approved condition rating system:
"A" Condition: the poster is in fine condition. The colours are fresh and there is no paper loss. If there is a slight tear, or folds, it is very unobtrusive.
"B" Condition: the poster is in good condition. The colours are acceptable. While slight paper loss maybe evident, it does not distract from the image. Restoration, if any, is not immediately apparent.
"C" Condition: the poster is in fair condition. Colours are faded, and there are signs of more extensive restoration. Existing folds are more visible, and possibly minor paper loss.
We further use '+' or '-' to more precisely describe the condition of a particular item (e.g.: B+). On top of this, we describe any “condition particularities” for individual pieces on its product page.
We apply the above condition rating system to all our posters and prints. If you have additional questions regarding our piece’s condition, we invite you to submit any inquiries.

This print is subtitled: "Bablot le gagnant sur Delage Magneto Bosch, Carburateur Claudel". French automobile designer Louis Delage designed the four cylinder racing engine and in this print we see French race car driver Paul Bablot driving one to win the 1911 Coupe des Voiturettes at Boulogne. This automobile was auctioned off in London in 2005 for over 330,000 British pounds. Bablot also owned an early French-built Wright-model airplane. He later became a track builder and designed the Circuit of Miramas which held the French Grand Prix in 1926.
Gamy is Marguerite Montaut, wife of Ernest Montaut. Ernest Montaut produced his first automobile lithographs in the late 19th century, documenting the new French passion for automobile racing. Marguerite joined him in his work producing not only racing prints but also developing a fine series of aviation prints commemorating such events as the first flights on the early European mail routes.
Particulars: This lithographic print has been professionally conserved and backed on acid-free linen paper (see poster and print conservation and restoration)
