Joakim Bonnier Autographed Items and Racing Memorabilia1930 - 1972
Vintage Original 1961 Monaco Grand Prix Counter-Top Poster.
An a very simple and relatively small but oh so rare poster...
These posters could be seen hanging throughout the principality of Monaco prior to the race in 1961 but this one is a little more special...
This particular one is executed as a counter-top version and it is the very first one in this execution that we ever managed to lay our hands on.
This poster features the best logo we have ever seen with the racing car and "MONACO" perfectly integrated into it!
Rumour has it that this poster was banned by the organizers as they deemed the black background to be too morbid at that time. Maybe the rumour is true... but we don't have knowledge of an alternative poster for the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix... so...
The race was, famously, won by Stirling Moss on Lotus 18 ahead of Richie Ginther, Phil Hill and Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, all on Ferrari 156 Sharknose.
Considering its age, it is over half a century old, we dare to call this unusual Monaco "poster" to be in mint condition.
9.8 x 12.5 inches or some 25 x 30 cm.
Only 1 available.

This is a vintage 1961 B&W photo of the pack coming through the Parabolica turn during the 1961 Grand Prix of Italy at the Autodromo di Monza.
The photo shows not less than FIVE of the famous Ferrari 156 Sharknose cars in 1 single view!
This race would of course go down in hisory as one of the most dramatic ever as seconds after this photo was taken, the Ferrari of Wolfgang von Trips and the Lotus of Jim Clark would get tangled up and von Trips would lose his life in the resulting crash.
Going through the cars in the picture, starting at the bottom, we see the following drivers:
It is amazing to see that only 1 (Sir Jack Brabham) out of the above 9 drivers is still alive today...
This photo measures a staggering 12 x 9.5 inches.
It is in mint condition for its age.
Please note that this photo is too big for our scanner so we had to digitally "stitch" two scans together to be able to present the total image. The horizontal line at the bottom of the image is a result of that. This is NOT visible in the actual photo!
The back carries the photographer's stamp.
