Rugby / Robert Soro / Pébeyre / Déro / Lourdes / Brive - Lot 169

Rugby / Robert Soro / Pébeyre / Déro / Lourdes / Brive Robert Décremps, alias DÉRO (1920-2000) Two caricatures: Robert Soro and "Père et fils" - Elie and Michel Pébeyre India ink on paper, signed, captioned 50 x 39 cm Two original illustrations for "La Fabuleuse histoire du Rugby" by Henri Garcia, published by Odil in 1973. Robert Soro (1922-2013) as a Swansea lion. On February 21, 1948, the solid second row from Romans almost single-handedly held off the Welsh fury (3 to 11 and 3 tries to nil). An immeasurable feat - no French team had ever won at Saint Helen's. This was the best of Father François' 21 caps between 1945 and 1949. A touching scene between father Elie Pébeyre (1923-2008), who was an international 8 times between 1945 and 1947, and his son Michel, who won 7 caps (1970-1973).
