Cycling/Roads/Helmet/Russia. The blue-and-green... - Lot 132 - Vermot et Associés

Cycling/Roads/Helmet/Russia. The blue-and-green helmeted champion, like all post-war Eastern Europeans, goes for it... What do the initials VT on his jersey stand for? His club? In any case, he's on the move. After the war, you really need to pedal, to get your mind off things. 83X58. Folded. 1946. BE, a little crumpled at top left, hardly visible. Very decorative. Small detail: this fever is translated here by a handsome artist whose name will make you smile: Boris Alexandrovitch Zelenski (1914-1984)...Is he a relative of the Ukrainian president? The homonymy is rather curious. Small tear top right. Two of the best specialists in Eastern European art and sport, Messrs Pinaloff and Zagdroksy, confirm the importance of this artist.
