Duray, on a 60 horsepower Lorraine-Dietrich, won the first great international race held in Russia, covering the 700 km in 9 hours 22 minutes at 70 km an hour and beating the fastest train by two hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Dietrich of Lunéville raced under the Lorraine-Dietrich name with the cross of Lorraine as its emblem, printed on the tissue guards of its plates in this album, and with Arthur Duray, Henri Rougier and Gabriel among its drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErnest Montaut (1878-1909) more or less invented the motor-racing print. Working in Paris in the first decade of the century, he drew the cars at full stretch, raked forward, with the road streaming away behind them and dust boiling off the wheels - a way of showing speed that motoring artists have borrowed ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plate comes from Montaut's album \"10 ans de courses: les marques victorieuses 1897-1907\" - ten years of racing and the marques that won it. Each plate records one victory from the great town-to-town races and Gordon Bennett contests, with the result printed on the tissue guard laid over it, and the plates were coloured by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepared from a high-resolution scan of the original hand-coloured plate, trimmed to the image and a margin of its own sheet. Printed on archival cotton-fibre paper when your order is placed, and mounted with a border of equal width on every side so the plate sits centred in the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Car Museum","offers":[{"title":"18cm x 38cm","offer_id":55491858137429,"sku":"MONTAUT083-M-38X18","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/6414\/6261\/files\/gallery-0_dcfc2af2-f3aa-42db-b4ab-c74083fe387b.jpg?v=1792767813","url":"https:\/\/theposteredit.com\/en-us\/products\/moscou-saint-petersbourg-1907-lorraine-dietrich-ernest-montaut","provider":"The Poster Edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
