Cycling / Adventure / Froment / Pontet / Nîmes / Savoie - Lot 41
Cycling / Adventure / Froment / Pontet / Nîmes / Savoie PONTET, Léon, Les Merveilleuses Aventures d'un Véloceman, 1894, Bibliothèque humoristique, ill. Charles Froment In-4°, 31 x 21.5 cm, 192 pages, blue publisher's cover, rarer than the red one (restorations) These Merveilleuses Aventures are well worth the detour, preferably by bicycle. One of the most beautiful declarations of love to the fledgling velocipede. After a lunch with three cycling buddies in Chaville, the story takes us to an island where velocipedy is so dominant that its inhabitants are called Vélocéaniens, and the machines are sometimes cyclopompes, sometimes venticycles. A singular, visionary work.
