Cycling/Paris-Brest/Terront. Original lithographed poster: "Bicyclette Terront, Terront et Reulos, avenue de la Grande-Armée...". The winner of Paris-Brest and back advertises his brand, as he has decided to take better advantage of his success in the race of the century...Shown in action by Lucien Baylac, he enters the legend, between the arms of Paris and Brest...The machine is solid, with a single brake at the front, a fixed sprocket at the rear, the horn under the frame, a tricolor armband on the right arm, it cuts through road and dust...This superb creation reminds us that this 1132 km race was the great starting point of velocipedics...It took the racing man 72 hours to complete it. Jiel-Laval from Bordeaux had taken the lead in Brest, but he didn't have the same machine !!!! Lithograph. 1892. TBE. 129X92,5.
