Few racing posters are more stimulating than this famous image by Geo Ham of a line of sports cars racing in the dark against the clock. Notably, this poster is the very rare, full-size version, not the more common handbill size. That year's 24-hour race was won by José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant driving a Ferrari 375 Plus against the up-and-coming Jaguar D-Type.
