Football/ French Cup/ Faria/ Press - Lot 109

Football/ French Cup/ Faria/ Press Amazing combination of poster and mock-up (collage) and match announcement (handwritten), work by Atelier Faria: "La Coupe comme si vous l'aviez joué, en exclusivité totale, Finale de la Coupe de France, Racing-Reims, Edition spéciale" Mock-up and mock-up evolving into a definitive mock-up for a newspaper report of the Coupe de France final. The Racing and Reims clubs are mentioned, but we can only assume that this was a delusion on the part of the graphic artist, given the probable dating of this essay (circa 1920). The goal-play scene with the diving goalkeeper is stunning. Atelier Faria, lithograph, 74.5 x 55 cm. Minor soiling and folds.
