Lambretta #1
This is an early magazine advertisement for Lambretta scooters from 1952.
The print is in excellent condition for its age.
The print is 19 x 24 cm (approx 6 x 8 inches or c.A5) in size. Including the mount, the size is 20.2 x 25.2 cm (approx 8 x 10 inches).
The Lambretta evolved in 1946 from the American scooters used during WW2. The name is derived from the word Lambrate, the suburb of Milan named after the river which flows through the area, and where the factory was located. Lambretta was the name of a mythical water-sprite associated with the river which runs adjacent to the former production site.
