Women's Sports/Cycling/Grand-Carteret. "The Woman in Breeches," 1899 first edition of this great compilation by the eclectic scholar John Grand-Carteret (1850-1927). Here, as elsewhere, he juxtaposes an impressive documentation, combining texts and images (219) on the beginnings of the female velocipede. We are in the infancy, the war of the clothes, the underlying sexuality, and thus the reactions are scratched. Color cover by Fernand Fau, who inside signs 54 sketches with Gustave Girrane, 396 pages, in 12.
