This vintage Polish postcard from 1966 commemorates the XIX Wycig Pokoju (Peace Race), a prestigious cycling competition that connected cities like Praha, Warszawa, and Berlin during the Cold War era. The postcard features stylized illustrations of cyclists and bold typography highlighting the event, with a special cancellation stamp dated May 16, 1966, marking Stage VII from Katowice to ód. Issued in Poland, this postcard includes a detailed 40 groszy postage stamp depicting historical Warsaw architecture, enhancing its collectible appeal. The piece measures approximately a standard postcard size and exhibits typical signs of age but remains a remarkable artifact of Eastern European sports history and philately. It is an excellent addition for collectors interested in vintage sports memorabilia, Cold War-era ephemera, or Polish postal history.
