Vintage Monaco Grand Prix posters bring color, speed and Riviera light to a wall. Here is every Monaco design in our Racing and Motorsports collection, where each one works best, and how to choose a size.
Monaco Grand Prix Poster, 1930
The year a privateer, René Dreyfus, beat the official Bugatti team in his own Bugatti. All bright red, it belongs in a home bar, game room or garage workshop: anywhere with plenty going on.
Monaco Grand Prix Poster, 1933
Varzi and Nuvolari traded the lead all race until Nuvolari’s Alfa caught fire on the last lap. The blue Bugatti under the palms suits kitchens, entries and coastal or Mediterranean rooms that already have color and pattern.
Monaco Grand Prix Poster, 1934
Guy Moll won in an Alfa Romeo. Warm red against palms and the Monaco skyline makes it a natural fit for bars and dining rooms with wood and terracotta tones.
Monaco Grand Prix Poster, 1936
A rain race won by Rudolf Caracciola in a silver Mercedes. It works best on a gallery wall or in a media room, grouped with the other prewar posters.
Monaco Grand Prix Poster, 1966
The modern end of the series, with bright blues and sunlit tones. The one to choose for a lighter, more contemporary room, or to finish a run of the earlier posters.
Choosing a size
These posters are bright, busy designs, and the bigger they get, the more they take over a room. The 1930 poster, all bright red, shows it best:
- 12×18 catches your eye wherever it hangs.
- 16×24 pulls everyone’s attention.
- 24×36 is a statement. It’s unignorable, and it will dominate the space.
For most rooms, 12×18 is the sweet spot. Go bigger only if you want the poster to be the room.
Printed to order on premium 200gsm matte paper, framed or unframed in black, white or natural wood, with free US shipping.
Hanging more than one
The prewar designs (1930–1936) share a palette and type style, so any two or three hang well together at the same size and frame color. Add the 1966 poster at one end to show how the cars changed.
The originals
The 1930s Monaco posters were printed in Monte-Carlo at about 31 × 47 inches. Robert Falcucci designed the 1930 poster, and Géo Ham, one of France’s great racing artists, designed 1933 to 1936. The 1966 design is by Michael Turner.
