Monaco Grand Prix 1971 by Steve Carpenter VIP Printing given out a Race
1971 Grand Prix Automobile of Monaco by Carpenter on linen Special printing given out to VIP Guests at the Race tirage number #870
The 1971 Monaco Grand Prix took place on May 23 as the second round of the Formula One World Championship. Jackie Stewart delivered a dominant performance in his Tyrrell-Ford. He secured pole position, set the fastest lap, and led the race from start to finish. Ronnie Peterson came in second, while Jacky Ickx finished third. The race unfolded on the iconic Monte Carlo street circuit, a track known for its tight corners and unforgiving layout.
The official event poster reflected the bold, modernist design style of the early 1970s. It featured a stylized Formula One car set against the famous Monaco harbor backdrop. As a result, the poster became a favorite among collectors of motorsport and design.
Steve Carpenter, an American artist, created the 1971 Monaco Grand Prix poster. He studied in Chicago and Los Angeles before working as an illustrator for Walt Disney. Later, he moved to Monte Carlo in the late 1960s. There, he taught at the École des Beaux-Arts and operated his own studio. Additionally, the Principality of Monaco commissioned him to design tourism posters, the 1971 Grand Prix poster, and postage stamps honoring Prince Rainier III. Notably, his clients included Princess Grace and Prince Rainier.
