1953 Photo - Grand Prix of Italy - Monza - Fangio, Ascari, Farina, Marimon - Ferrari - Maserati.
This is an original photo of Giuseppe "Nino" Farina on Ferrari 500, Alberto Ascari on Ferrari 500, Juan Manuel Fangio on Maserati A6GCM-53 and most probably Onofre Marimon also on Maserati A6GCM-53 during the final stages (maybe even the last lap!) of the 1953 Gran Premio d'Italia at the Autodromo di Monza.
Fangio would win the race ahead of Farina, Villoresi and Hawthorn, all on Ferrari.
The difference between Farina and Fangio was a mere 1.4 seconds while Villoresi and Hawthorn were 1 lap behind.
In the words of the Grand Master himself:Ascari, who stood between me and the victory I needed so badly, took the final curve very sharply and his Ferrari did a half spin. He was hit by Marimon. Farina, whom I had only just overtaken and was breathing down my neck, had to swerve to avoid hitting them. In that split second of danger I was through, winning literally in the 312th mile of a 312-mile race. There was such confusion when we crossed the line that the man didn't put down the chequered flag, so I did another lap with Farina behind me, but all the time I thought they had make a mistake. They say I was almost hysterical that day, and I'm not surprised, although as a rule I'm usually rather calm.
It measures some 9.5 x 7 inches (24 x 17.5 cm) and is black & white.
This appears to be a somewhat more recent print.
Vintage 1953 Le Mans Race Program.
In excellent condition but obviously used and a small corner or the top of the rear cover missing (see photographs). Blank lap sheet with some scribbling in the margins.
Fantastic artwork by world renowned motorsport artist Geo Ham on both the front and rear cover.
Unlike the previous years, the artist has decided to show a slightly more symbolic face of the event.
The scene looks like the exit of the Mulsanne hairpin while the water tower, which was built by the Germans during World War 2, can be seen in the background on the left.
The race was won by Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton in their Jaguar C-Type with a total of 304 laps to their name.
Unfortunately, Tom Cole Jr. met his untimely end when he crashed the Ferrari 340 MM Vignale Spyder (S/N 0284MM), which he shared with 1949 Le Mans winner Luigi Chinetti, in lap 175.
