Cycling/Tour 1906/Rouen. Two original press photos of the 19 - Lot 132
Cycling/Tour 1906/Rouen. Two original press photos of the 1906 Tour. The images of this 4th Tour (4500km, 14 survivors) sublimated by the exploits of René Pottier are rare, here are two of them, double-sided: a) the crossing of Rouen, during the last stage, the trainers were taken, with them, one thinks to recognize, Passerieu, Petit-Breton, Trousselier and Pottier (with his bob, and the jersey of the VCL), that is to say, the four Peugeot lion cubs, in head of the general.The animation is exceptional.... We play with the big crowd of Sunday and the rails of the streetcar... The photographer is posted on the second floor of a café, it seems. Exceptional document, of this size, of this quality, with this hedge of spectators standing on the parapet, and this abundant and good-natured life...18x24 (small horn, lower right corner). It is falsely captioned Bordeaux, by a fan of the eponymous vintage; b) The same, but with Pottier in the lead, and a following car...This could be on the side of Plessis-les-Vaudreuil-St Fargeau...Fold on the lower right, break on the left, small chip and horn on the top, despite everything the document speaks, enchants. There, they are on the white road, in full effort...11,5x16.
