This poster depicts the excitement of a neck-and-neck race for the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe.The drama and excitement of a photo finish are stirringly depicted by the concentrated and overlapping form of two jockeys and horses crossing a finish.Cassandre evokes the feeling of blurred, blinding speed that is always associated with the neck-and-neck battle of a stretch run (Brown & Reinhold, p. 18). There was also a larger and smaller format; this is the medium size.
