Halfsheet, This vintage poster advertises the
Nationale Sportwagenrace der KNAC 500RACE. The visual style of the poster, particularly the depiction of the helmeted figure, is similar to designs for other European sporting events from the mid-20th century. The text translates from Dutch to "National Sports Car Race of the Royal Dutch Automobile Club (KNAC) 500 Race".
Similar posters often feature a bold, graphic style to promote races or other athletic competitions. While the poster text references a sports car race, the image of a person in a helmet and goggles is a motif found on many vintage posters for different sports, including winter sports. The visual style is sometimes associated with events from the 1930s to the 1960s |
