Peace Race Poster - 1974 Wiktor Górka

"The 1974 Peace Race was dominated by the golden generation of Polish riders. Their great amateur world champion, Ryszard Szurkowski, was absent, but in his stead came Stanislaw Szozda. He won six of the 13 stages, podiumed in five more, and dominated the GC. The race featured 18 teams, including Great Britain (tenth in the team competition) and Cuba (fifth).

In Wiktor Górka's posters, subject and message tended to be characterized by both graphics and text. His work is synonymous with light, sophisticated form and, above all, atmosphere. The 1974 poster is unusual in the sense that it was produced in three different coloured versions; orange, royal blue and a sumptuous violet."
Herbie Sykes, "Wyscig Pokoju", Rouleur 30
