Canoe-Kayak/Practice/Olympic Games. Two original posters on - Lot 49

Canoe-Kayak/Practice/Olympic Games. Two original posters on this sport that is as little known as it is essential, even though it only became an Olympic sport in 1936, after having been a demonstration sport at the Paris Games in 1924: a) Original poster, Hart Sioux, Kayaks pliants, parfaits sur l'eau, légers sur le dos..." (Hart Sioux, folding kayaks, perfect on the water, light on the back...) by Henri Biais. By Henri Biais. 77X54. BE: b) Original poster, "Kayak pliant, votre bateau dans un sac...Pour la chambre syndicale des sports de camping et de pêche..." By Henri Biais. 64.5x50. His two marvels fall between the two exploits of the great French pioneer and champion Henri Eberhardt (1913-1976), who was Olympic vice-champion in Berlin in 1936 over 10,000m, with his collapsible single-seater kayak, please, and his bronze medal over 1,000m, in a single-seater kayak in London in 1948 (he was 5th over 10,000m). So 1939-1946...Lithographs. BE. At the London Games, perhaps after training on these revolutionary folding and transportable boats, Boutigny, Dransart and Gandil show that Henri Eberhardt did not paddle into the void. 66 x 50.5 cm Tack holes, folds 77 x 55 cm Tears, missing
