1907 Peking to Paris Race – Prince Borghese in his 7 Litre Italia

£49.00£99.00

The Peking to Paris race was held for the first time in 1907.

This painting depicts Prince Borghese with the Llama of Tibet over a route of 12,000 miles never before traversed by car. Prince Borghese was an Italian nobleman, a wealthy individual who financed the journey.

No British entries were received for such a foolhardy route across the roof of the world.

Other competitors fell by the wayside. One is reputed to be buried in the sands of the Gobi Desert.
