EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alain Gerbault, a legendary figure in the world of sailing, during his solo circumnavigation of the globe from 1923 to 1929. The image serves as the cover illustration for Le Petit Journal in 1929 and is a stunning example of colour lithography. Gerbault's remarkable journey was one filled with courage and determination, as he braved treacherous waters and unpredictable weather conditions all on his own. As depicted in this artwork, he stands tall on his yacht, defying the elements with an air of heroic resilience. The boat itself is beautifully captured, its sleek form cutting through the waves effortlessly. A tugboat can be seen trailing behind it, symbolizing support and assistance along Gerbault's arduous voyage. Transportation takes center stage in this image - not just physical transportation across vast oceans but also metaphorical transportation into uncharted territories. Gerbault embodies the spirit of a true adventurer and explorer, pushing boundaries both literally and figuratively. The fire crest adorning Gerbault's vessel represents passion and determination while adding a touch of elegance to the scene. It serves as a reminder that even amidst great challenges, there is always room for beauty and grace. This print captures an iconic moment in history when one man dared to conquer the world alone by sail. It pays homage to Alain Gerbault's incredible achievement while inspiring viewers to embark on their own personal journeys towards greatness.
