Last-minute gift idea for people who already have everything
Who still needs a quick Christmas present and doesn't just want to buy a "zero-eight-fifteen" bottle of wine?
Motorsport photographer Rainer Schlegelmilch offers a specialty of a special kind. Portraits of five former F1 stars: Jack Brabham, Dan Gurney, Jacky Ickx, Jackie Stewart and John Surtees in black and white, as 60x40cm pigment prints, originally signed, numbered and only available in 50 copies.
The photos clearly show the signature of Rainer Schlegelmilch. They are of high quality and also very emotional. Portraits that are very difficult to take of today's warhorses. However, many of Schlegelmilch's pictures are now familiar, as they have often been seen in various books, whether in inexpensive or very expensive versions. But I think that the original signatures of the well-known heroes alone will make up for the price of 3250 euros in the near future. Unfortunately, Jack Brabham has already stopped producing original signatures. How long you can still get autographs from the remaining four remains to be seen.
The portraits therefore certainly represent an attractive, neatly packaged gift idea with a high rarity value.
For the price of Euro 3250, you get a fine, handmade linen box with the inlaid pigment prints, the driver biographies, the white cotton gloves and the illustrated book "The golden Age of Formula 1". A well-rounded affair. And you can order it here.
