H.A. VOLODIMER (DATES UNKNOWN) [2eme GRAND PRIX D'ENDURANCE / COUPE RUDGE WHITWORTH.] Pencil, watercolor and gouache maquette. 1923. 23 1/4x34 3/4 inches, 59x88 1/4 cm. Condition A- / B+: minor tears and creases at edges; sharp crease through upper left corner; minor discoloration in image; tape on verso. Printed on thick paper. Volodimer would not be remembered at all as a poster artist if not for the images he designed in 1923, 1924 and 1925 for the first three 24-hour endurance car races that became known as the legendary "Le Mans." The race was originally conceived as a three-year event, in which the winner, determined by whoever amassed the most miles over the three separate races, would be awarded the Rudge-Whitworth Cup.
