This listing is for a nice: Vintage Reissue - French Poster RENAULT 4CV competing in the MONTE CARLO RALLY
The condition is nice showing some minor signs of age. It was carefully folded into 6.
There is a greeting written on the back of the poster and the original envelope it was sent in is also included.
It measures approximately 15 1/2" x 23 1/4"
The poster is based on original artwork by Geo Ham (Georges Hamel), a renowned French artist known for his automotive illustrations.
I believe that this is a reissue.
The Renault 4CV, a popular French economy car, won its category in the 1949 Monte Carlo Rally, overcoming larger vehicles.
The scene depicts the car driving through snowy conditions, highlighting the challenging nature of the rally.

I have listed several other similar posters from the same person in France to the same person in Chicago, Illinois USA. I believe that there was some type of promotional / business relationship with the 2 individuals over the years.
