[PEKING-PARIS]. Commemorative menu for the Peking-Paris motor race, with autograph signatures of Prince Scipione Borghese and Luigi Barzini. Berlin, [August] 1907.
scarcepiece of memorabilia relating to the historic 1907 Peking-Paris motor race, the first great intercontinental automobile competition, won by Prince Scipione Borghese, with Luigi Barzini as correspondent and travelling companion. The menu, prepared for a luncheon with musical accompaniment at the restaurant Unione Cooperativa di Milano A.G. in Berlin, bears on the verso the pencil signatures of the two Italian protagonists, most likely added during celebrations marking their passage through the German capital, only a few days before their triumphant arrival in Paris on 10 August 1907, an achievement that firmly established the international prestige of Italian motoring.
Printed folding menu (105 × 80 mm), listing the courses and musical programme; autograph signatures in pencil of Scipione Borghese and Luigi Barzini on the verso. In good condition. (1)
