This poster is part of the so-called "Major Illustrators" era in Le Mans posters which lasted from 1954 - 1963 and in which the cream of the crop of French motorsport illustrators such as Geo Ham, Jeudon and Beligond were hired for the design of the race posters.
The 1957 poster was after a color illustration from the hand of Jeudon. The change of illustrator from Geo Ham to Jeudon led to a radically different style. The more modern illustration retains one of the main symbols of the mythic care - the night. The cars have been reduced to blibs on a radar screen.
The race was won by Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb in their Jaguar D-Type (S/N XKD606) with a total of 327 laps to their name.

Vintage 1957 Le Mans 24 Hours Race Program Package.
This is an almost time warp set dating from 1957.
It not only contains the 1957 24 Heures du Mans programme but also the following items:
This set is exactly as you would have bought it trackside in 1957 and a very rare find thanks to the "extra items" that are still with it.
It is in more than excellent condition for its age with some very minor shelfwear to the cover of the program booklet and of course a blank lap table (see photo).
Admittedly... the cover of that booklet is not exactly the most spectacular ever... graphics-wise...
The programme itself measures some 21 x 27 cm and counts 96 pages filled to the brim with information of the race, the cars, the drivers and of course load of contemporary advertising with a fantastic color advertisement for "Huiles Renault" with artwork by the great Geo Ham on the rear cover (se photo).
The booklets also served as a ticket in the grand prize draw in which you could win a Renault Dauphine car and, consequently, they were individually numbered with this particular one being 008269 but it might be a little late to claim your prize now...
Only 1 available.
