Cycling / Tour / L'Auto / Faber / Fascicule "Le Géant de la route, François Faber, ses débuts, sa carrière, ses Tours de France, comment il s'entraîne" Charles Ravaud, Librairie de 'L'Auto. 1909, 24 p., 17 x 12 cm. An editorial coup, as in the previous year with Petit-Breton, "L'Auto" devoted a publication to François FABER, and Ravaud signed on August 1, the day of the victorious finish of the Colombes Giant (1m79 and 91 kg). That year, 1909, his Tour was Homeric, with 6 stage wins, including 5 in a row (from Metz to Nice, please). He also won the Paris-Brussels and Sedan-Brussels races. This very rare booklet, in superb condition, salutes an extraordinary champion, like his friend PETIT-BRETON.
