Cycling/ Argentina/ Van Steenbergen/ Ockers/... - Lot 38 - Vermot et Associés

Cycling/ Argentina/ Van Steenbergen/ Ockers/ Torpedo. Two original Argentinian and German posters: a) Lithographed poster, early 1950s, giving us another reality than soccer, that of the bicycle and a major manufacturer: "Borealux, Adelante en bicicletas argentinas, Calidad total, garantie pour toute la vie...". Superb trucker in red jersey, perfectly equipped to cross the pampas. Fold on thigh. 73X56. This boreal image reminds us that in 1952, the country's first Tour was won by Van Steenbergen ahead of Ockers; b) In Germany, indoor poster with chopsticks: "the Torpedo hub, Dreigang, Schon der Sicherheit Zulieb", knows no middle ground in the 70s, with this charming ambassador (58x42, small tear at bottom).
