WEDEL, Nils 1897-1967). Sweden Grand Prix 1930. Original lithograph with colour, printed by Åkerlund Rausing, published by the Swedish Grand Prix Saxtorp, 1930. 1000 x 595 mm. The Swedish Grand Prix of 1930 marked the dawn of a new era in racing, specifically for motorcycle competitions. In the picturesque village of Saxtorp in southern Sweden, an unprecedented number of spectators gathered to witness thrilling two-wheel racing. It was a historic event that left a lasting impression. Interestingly, the printer of this poster, Åkerlund Rausing, later went on to establish Tetra Pak in 1951 as a subsidiary. The connection adds an intriguing layer of history to this remarkable piece.
