EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour litho print captures the excitement of a cycle race specifically designed for riders weighing 100 kilos. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this artwork showcases the unique sport known as "La Course Des Cent Kilos" or "Cycle race for riders weighing 100 kilos". The illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on October 5th, 1902. The image depicts a group of competitors, predominantly men, who are all larger in size and weight. These fat riders can be seen energetically pedaling their bicycles along a road while being closely observed by enthusiastic spectators. The peloton is filled with big cyclists racing towards victory, showcasing their strength and determination. Set against the backdrop of Corsica's picturesque landscape, this sporting event symbolizes both athleticism and inclusivity. It highlights that cycling is not limited to individuals with slim physiques but welcomes participants from all walks of life. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print offers a glimpse into early European cycling culture. It celebrates the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie within field sports while emphasizing France's rich sporting heritage. This artwork from Bridgeman Images serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of society across different cultures and time periods.
