Advertising Posters to celebrate
the Porsche victories
The Poster Archives give descriptions and
photos of the posters in the Porsche Factory Archives. Many photos are
copies from poor quality secondary photographs. In time we hope to
replace them with better photos. About half of the Porsche posters
shown here are presently for sale in our Poster Store. If they are
available there will be a price listed.
We are including the non-inventory posters as
a resource for those interested in Porsche poster history. This page
will eventually link to a biography of Erich Strenger, the almost
legendary designer of many of the posters commemorating Porsche racing
victories.
Note: Serveral visitors have asked about the "Porsche
Archives". This is not an official title, but one that has been
given by us to the collection of Poster photographs maintained in the
"Historisches Archiv", at Porsche AG. It seems that Porsche
has not always kept copies of the posters that they have made to
advertise their racing triumphs. The "Historisches Archiv"
has been photographing posters, both in their collection and in the
collections of others. With the photographs is a list of information,
as seen on our poster pages. In many cases, the information is
incomplete. Where we have the posters, we have added additional
details. It is obvious that some of the posters shown in the archives
are printed by others and therefore not "Porsche factory
posters". They are, never-the-less, in the "Historisches
Archiv", and we have shown them. In some cases we have shown
posters that are printed by the factory that do not have an archive
number. We assume that the factory has just not gotten around to
photographing them, or that they have been photographed since we saw
the archives. ...A.W.
