F. Andrieu 2e Grand Prix de l’Albigeois vintage poster
Caption Brief: "In Andrieu's 1934 poster advertising the second Albi Grand Prix, the cars appear to be somewhat pliant, literally bending to their drivers' wills as they head into a turn on the Circuit d'Albi, the racetrack located near the city of Albi, northeast of Toulouse. The Circuit d'Albi has been hosting international racing events for nearly eighty years; however, it hosted a mere six Albi Grand Prix—the last one was held in 1949" (The Art Deco Poster, Crouse, p. 169).
