Omnisport. The complete sports pantheon of the belle époque. - Lot 509
Omnisport. The complete sports pantheon of the belle époque. Le Petit Journal. The Glories of Sport. Original canvas poster. Around 1905. And suddenly, "Le Petit Journal", which in the past under Giffard's label had promoted cycling, automobile or pedestrian sports, remembered its role as a scout as well as a builder, and commissioned Charaire to produce a work celebrating its fabulous sowing. This work, with its 16 sports playlets and its 100 champions of all disciplines, is indeed a monument. They are all there or almost Garin, Huret, Trousselier, Kirchhoffer, Jenatzy, Santos-Dumont, Sandow, or Merignac. The first Academy of Sports, it is indeed "Le Petit Journal", which baptizes it here. Lithograph 100x125. Nice condition. Museum piece.
