The is a cool original vintage poster advertising the 1957 Swedish Grand Prix in Hedemora.
The original host of the Swedish Grand Prix (for motorcycles) Hedemora is still regarded by many as the country's pre-eminent road racing course.
The poster is designed by Leander who was a commercial designer and worked for many years at the petrol company Shell. He soon came into contact with motorsport and created many of the program covers and posters.
The poster is in great shape except for a tear at right edge mended with scotch tape. Great motorcycle TT racing poster! Would look great framed.
