FIRST FRENCH GRAND PRIX 1906 - CIRCUIT DE LA SARTHE (19 POSTCARDS)

19 original postcards. Each published by J. Bouveret of Le Mans from photographs by Maurice-Louis Branger. Includes a map of the circuit and 18 individual drivers (and cars), including the winner Ferenc Szisz and Albert Clement. The 1906 race was the first French Grand Prix and was hosted by the Automobile Club de France (ACF). It was created at the initiative of the French automotive industry as an alternative to the Gordon Bennett Cup.  

The Clement postcard has an address written to reverse, and a stamp and short note to front. The Baron de Caters postcard has a long neat message to reverse but has not been posted. All the others are postally unused and in excellent condition.
