Gamy. Peugeot race car at 1913 Indianapolis 500
GAMY and MONTAUT, Ernest.
A hand-colored 1913 lithograph/pochoir print by French artist Gamy, depicting Jules Goux in his Peugeot racing car, on his way to winning the 1913 Indianapolis 500.
Mabileau & Co., Paris, 1913.
Framed.
Dimensions :
With frame : 94cm x 48.5cm
Print : 87cm x 42cm
Signed GAMY
Note : The Gamy-Montaut prints were all produced by the pochoir process in which the outlines for each image were drawn onto lithographic stones and printed. Using these uncoloured prints as a template, elaborate stencils were cut for each colour. Water-colour was then brushed onto the image through the stencil. The colouring process was quite complex, with each print taking several days to produce. It was also quite labour intensive, and the studio of Gamy-Montaut therefore employed a group of trained artists, including Nevil and Campion, to assist in the colouring.
