1949 International Jumping Steeple Chase – Van Gent, Royal Cercle Equestre Gent Poster
A dynamic postwar Belgian sporting poster promoting the 1949 International Jumping Steeple Chase at the Royal Cercle Equestre Gent. Two riders—one in green, one in red—are captured mid-jump, their horses clearing a fence in a tightly cropped, forward-driving composition set against a vivid yellow-orange ground.
The bold color blocking and simplified forms reflect mid-century lithographic design at its most direct, using motion and contrast to convey speed and competition. Issued for one of Belgium’s oldest equestrian institutions, this piece sits at the intersection of sporting culture and graphic modernism.
Original 1949 Belgian equestrian event poster for the International Jumping Steeple Chase held at the Royal Cercle Equestre Gent. Features a striking mid-century illustration of two horse riders in motion, rendered in bold, saturated color.
Vintage horse racing and equestrian posters from this period are increasingly sought after for their strong graphic qualities and crossover appeal to both sports and design collectors. Linen-backed and well-preserved examples are particularly desirable.
