Patriotic Wall Art

Patriotic — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Bleu de France — French racing blue — became the national motorsport colour in the early twentieth century, most famously associated with Bugatti's Grand Prix campaigns and later echoed by Alpine rally heroes and Peugeot's Le Mans prototypes. The Alpine A110 dominated Monte Carlo Rally folklore in the early 1970s; the Bugatti Type 35 remains among the most successful Grand Prix designs of the 1920s; the Peugeot 905 claimed back-to-back Le Mans victories in 1992 and 1993 with the ESSO-backed livery visible on the right panel. The P-51 Mustang is among the most celebrated American fighters of the Second World War, credited with turning the air war over Europe once long-range escort became routine. Nose art traditions — pin-up illustrations and personalised airframe names like those shown here — were a distinctive USAAF visual culture on bomber and fighter squadrons alike.
