Description

This print is of the 1913 Indianapolis 500 won by Jules Goux. The picture is titled, “1913 Grand Prix d’Amérique – Goux gagnant sur Peugeot” which refers not to an actual American Grand Prix but to a celebrated Gamy‑Montaut pochoir print commemorating Jules Goux’s victory in the 1913 Indianapolis 500, which European artists and journalists often called the “Grand Prix of America.” The artwork depicts Goux driving his revolutionary Peugeot L76 to a dominant win—he became the first foreign driver to triumph at Indy, finishing by a huge margin and earning widespread acclaim in Europe. Produced in Paris by Mabileau & Co., the print is prized today for its vivid hand‑colored style and its connection to one of early motorsport’s most significant achievements.
