EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures the exhilarating start of the Paris-Belfort running race in the late 19th century. Organized by Le Petit Journal, a renowned French newspaper, this prestigious event attracted competitors from all corners of France. The image showcases a sea of athletes clad in their athletic attire, eagerly awaiting the sound of the starting gun. The tricolour flags proudly wave against the backdrop of an impressive building, symbolizing national pride and unity. The atmosphere is electric as anticipation fills the air. Spectators line up along both sides of the start line, cheering on their favorite runners with great enthusiasm. Henri Meyer's masterful use of color lithography brings this historical moment to life with vivid detail and precision. Every athlete's determination can be seen etched on their faces as they prepare to embark on this grueling race towards Belfort. This iconic photograph not only celebrates sportsmanship but also reflects a significant era in French culture and history. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie that transcends time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are transported back to that fateful day in June 1892 when these brave runners set off on their journey from Paris to Belfort - forever etching their names into sporting lore.
