A framed printed poster relating to the Yukon Quest. The Image depicts an amusing image ot a Mountie writing a speeding ticket for a dog-musher and his team. The image is drawn in a cartoon style. The frame is silver metal, and has a metal wire on the back for hanging.
The posters were collected by Peter Anthony Garside, who timed many of the Yukon Quest races. This poster was presented to Peter Garside in 1995 in appreciation of his valuable support to the sport of dog mushing in the Yukon. They were inherited by his sister, Veronica Malzarby. For a time they were on display in the Midnight Sun Hotel in Dawson.
Yukon Quest posters were published and sold every year as souvenirs of the Quest. Purchasers often collected signatures of the mushers on their poster.

The Yukon Quest, formally the Yukon Quest 1,000-mile International Sled Dog Race, is a sled dog race that began in 1984, between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon, switching directions each year. The Quest had operated with both a Canadian board and an Alaska board. But in 2022, the race split over proposed rule changes to the 2023 race.Since then, there have been Yukon Quest races in both Yukon and Alaska, operating independently of each other with shorter course distances.;A one page printed sheet is glued to the back of the poster.
