Cycling/Alavoine/Carman/Leonard...Original poster to copy: "Tous sur Bicyclette "LORA" gold medal, Bordeaux-Paris-Bordeaux...1920...Like Carman, Jean Alavoine, and Edouard Léonard, who just finished 2nd in this great BPB...." Superb poster featuring the brand's three great champions, the American helmeted stayer Clarence Carman, who defeated Sérès and Linart to become the 1919 American champion, Edouard Leonard (1882-1968), hero of the Circuit des Champs de Bataille, and the inimitable Jean Alavoine (1888-1943), molded in his French champion's jersey. This lithograph testifies as much to the richness of the racing calendar in the Roaring Twenties, as to the number and variety of the champions. Imp Wall. Lithograph, 120.5x79.5.
