EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a stage in the Tour de France during the early 20th century. The riders stand before the start, their faces displaying a sense of anticipation and determination. But what catches our attention is not just their athletic prowess, but rather the unexpected moment of refreshment and intrigue captured in this image. Amidst the hustle and bustle of pre-race preparations, cyclist Antonin Magne finds himself approached by an elegant admirer who presents her with a map to be signed. With Cyclist Andre Leducq standing at his side, Magne graciously accepts this unexpected gesture from her mysterious suitor. The scene unfolds against a backdrop reminiscent of a French bistro, adding an air of casual charm to this otherwise intense sporting event. It is as if time stands still for just a moment as these athletes engage in a brief exchange that transcends their roles as competitors. This front page engraving from "L'illustrious du petit journal" captures not only the physicality and skill required for such races but also highlights the human connections formed amidst all the adrenaline-fueled excitement. It reminds us that even in highly competitive environments like professional sports, there is room for moments of warmth and connection between individuals. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece by Stefano Bianchetti serves as both an artistic representation of sport and a testament to our shared humanity.
