Omnisport / Press / L'Auto / O'Galop - Lot 154
Omnisport / Press / L'Auto / O'Galop "Our Champions Album published in early 1907 by the newspaper L'Auto, illustrated cover, 16 pages 44 x 28 cm (folded at center, tears, pages detached from booklet) Illustrated with fine photos of great champions and a fresco by O'Galop. Around the Marquis de Dion, we find Hemery, Scisz, Raggio, Gabriel and Théry. In cycling, Major Taylor, Aucouturier and Petit-Breton. There was also running, wrestling with Paul Pons, fencing with Mérignace, equestrianism with Speermint, swimming with Miss Kellermann, and boxing with Jeffries. In spite of Filez, association soccer was still in its infancy, while rugby, with its wealth of players such as Jérome, Lacassagne and Amand, was in the doldrums. A reflection of the stammering but teeming sporting movement.
