This poster prominently features a sleek, aerodynamic Mercedes-Benz race car, likely the iconic 300 SLR, which was a standout in the 1955 racing season. The car is depicted in a dramatic and streamlined manner, highlighting its advanced design and speed.

The 1955 Holland Grand Prix, held at the Zandvoort Circuit, was a significant event in the Formula One season, showcasing the dominance of Mercedes-Benz drivers. Juan Manuel Fangio emerged victorious in this race, reinforcing his reputation as one of the era's top drivers. The event was notable for its competitive field and high-speed action, contributing to a memorable season in motorsport history.

Mercedes-Benz, a name synonymous with luxury and engineering prowess, has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. Founded by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, the brand has been a pioneer in automotive innovation. By 1955, Mercedes-Benz was well-established as a leading manufacturer in both luxury and racing cars. The 1955 racing season was particularly notable for the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, driven by legendary drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. This model dominated the sports car racing scene and was celebrated for its impressive performance and engineering.

Anton Stankowski (1906-1998) was a pioneering German graphic designer and typographer known for his innovative work in visual communication and design.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.
