"Races every Sunday" is a vintage poster created in 1910 by French artist Jacques Cancaret to advertise cycling events at the Vélodrome d'Hiver, commonly known as Vel d'Hiv, in Paris. The poster is a vibrant example of early 20th-century advertising art, reflecting the popularity of cycling races in France at the time. It features dynamic imagery and bold typography, designed to capture the excitement of the weekly races that drew crowds to the indoor arena.

The Vélodrome d'Hiver, opened in 1909, was an indoor track cycling venue located near the Eiffel Tower in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. It quickly became a hub for various sporting events, including the famous six-day races, and was a significant part of the city's cultural and social scene during the early 1900s. Jacques Cancaret's poster played a role in promoting these events and contributing to the velodrome's legendary status among cycling enthusiasts.

As an artist, Jacques Cancaret was known for his work in the realm of poster art, a field that gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Paris being a center for this burgeoning art form. His work on the "Races every Sunday" poster is characterized by its lively depiction of cyclists in motion, the use of color, and the sense of speed and competition it conveys.

The poster not only serves as an advertisement but also as a historical artifact, offering insight into the leisure activities and visual culture of the period. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of cycling in France and the role of graphic design in the sporting world. While the Vélodrome d'Hiver itself has a complex history, including its use during World War II for the internment of Jews before deportation, the poster represents a specific moment in the venue's early years, when it was celebrated for its sporting spectacles.

Today, "Races every Sunday" by Jacques Cancaret is appreciated both for its artistic merit and as a piece of cycling history. It is of interest to collectors of vintage posters, historians of graphic design, and enthusiasts of cycling culture.
