Football/ Photos/ J.Baker/ Rimet / Gambardella/ Hanot/ Saupi - Lot 172

Football/ Photos/ J.Baker/ Rimet / Gambardella/ Hanot/ Saupin 2/ Colombes. Beautiful photographic album, green binding, embossed (25x32). An overview in 45 photos (18x24, 13x18, others) glued together of the best moments of the Centre-Ouest Football League from 1930 to 1962. Held by League president M.Cottereau or someone close to him, this volume allows us to take a round ball bath, and to rediscover the life of the region's cadet and junior representative teams, in Vienne as in Colombes, as well as that of the leaders at banquets... Where, in superb photos, we also find Max Conchy, Van Dooren, Gabriel Hanot, Jules Rimet, Emmanuel Gambardella, Saupin junior, as well as a report on a match at Joséphine Baker's home in Les Milandes on 4/9/1949. In the midst of the footballers, our Josephine is sublime (17x13). This image alone justifies the purchase... In addition, small photos of the Coupe de France 47, 49, 51 finals, and a Bastia 1952. A particularly moving piece from a time when soccer could be called soccer...
