    One of the most widely reproduced Geo Ham posters. Provenance is everything, what is the chain of ownership? I would contact Tony Singer at Vintage Auto Posters | Original & Finest Selection of Vintage Car Posters for his opinion. Good luck.

    If you email me the dimensions and clearer pix I can let you know. I have almost all of the original Monaco GP posters from 1930 onwards

    It is a terrific poster. I am a big Geo Ham fan but originals are out of my league.

    A necessary – but, I stress, not sufficient – indicator of originality is this: if you hold a jeweler's loupe to the surface of the poster and you do NOT see the characteristic dots of four-colour offset printing, then it could be an original, which was produced by the lithographic process. In addition, a modern giclée reproduction will not have the uncoated/semi-matte appearance of an original in the areas of highest colour saturation.
