This vintage Polish postcard commemorates the 19th edition of the Wycig Pokoju (Peace Race) held in 1966. The card features a striking graphic of cyclists in action, with the race route noted as Praha, Warszawa, and Berlin-key cities symbolizing the international spirit of this iconic Eastern European cycling event. The front bears a 40 groszy Polish postage stamp depicting the historic Warsaw Town Hall, postmarked Katowice on May 15, 1966, adding authentic provenance and historical context.Measuring approximately standard postcard size, this piece captures a unique moment in Cold War-era sports history, celebrating unity and competition across divided Europe. Its clean design and legible text make it a collectible item for philatelists, sports memorabilia collectors, and those interested in mid-20th century Eastern European culture. The postcard's imagery and postal markings offer a glimpse into the significance of the Peace Race as a symbol of camaraderie and peaceful rivalry during a politically tense period.
