EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Paris in 1910, where an advertising poster for Cycles Lorette bicycles proudly hangs. The scene depicts a triumphant bicycle race winner being showered with flowers, symbolizing their well-deserved victory. It serves as a reminder of the prestigious Tour de France, an annual cycling event that has captivated audiences since its inception in 1903. The Tour de France is not just a race; it represents the spirit of French culture and society. As cyclists pedal through picturesque landscapes and historic towns, they become ambassadors of transport and communication, connecting people from different regions. This iconic sporting event has transcended boundaries by occasionally making passes through neighboring countries. The artistry displayed in this advertisement captures the essence of early 20th-century Parisian café society. Its bold colors and intricate details reflect the flourishing poster art movement during that time. Such advertisements were not merely commercial tools but also works of art that adorned city walls, enticing passersby with their visual allure. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Pictures From History's collection, we are transported to a bygone era when bicycles represented freedom and progress. It reminds us how even simple modes of transportation can shape social dynamics within a society
