The Start of the Paris-Brest Bicycle Race - A Glimpse into Sporting History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in sporting history - the start of the renowned Paris-Brest bicycle race. Taken on September 15th, 1891, it showcases a vibrant scene unfolding in front of the iconic offices of Le Petit Journal. The illustration, created by Fortune Louis Meaulle, brings to life the excitement and energy surrounding this long-distance cycling competition. As cyclists eagerly await their departure, a diverse crowd gathers to witness this thrilling event. The atmosphere is electric as contestants prepare themselves for an arduous journey that will test their endurance and skill. Amidst the sea of spectators, tricolore flags wave proudly in support of these brave athletes embarking on a grueling tour through northern France. The image perfectly encapsulates both the spirit of competition and national pride that characterized this era. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also serves as a testament to the growing popularity of cycling during France's Third Republic. It highlights how sports became an integral part of society at large and demonstrates how Le Petit Journal played a vital role in promoting such events. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Meaulle's collection held at Bibliotheque-Musee Forney in Paris, we are transported back to an era where athleticism and camaraderie converged against a backdrop filled with anticipation and fervor.
