Automobile / Le Mans / Faroux / Polytechnique / L'Auto. Supe - Lot 4
Automobile / Le Mans / Faroux / Polytechnique / L'Auto. Superb bronze plaque (30x20) depicting the immense Charles Faroux (1942). Signed A.Macpas (??). For the record, this polytechnician, world billiards champion, pope of motoring journalism, provocative Tour observer and right-hand man to Desgrange and Goddet at "L'Auto", then "L'Equipe", played an essential role in the rise of motor racing and in particular the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Attached is a rare original photo from 1913, when he was racing in the USA (HH.Coburn, Indianapolis, 1913) (20x19), as well as an important handwritten letter (letterhead, two pages) signed.
