EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster print showcases the legendary Luxembourg cycling champion, Francois Faber, as he fearlessly rides his Alcyon bicycle. The vibrant colors of this 20th-century lithograph bring to life the spirit and determination that defined Faber's career. With a confident gaze and an aura of strength, Faber embodies the essence of a true sportsman. Faber's remarkable achievements are not forgotten; he was crowned the victor of the prestigious Tour de France in 1909. However, fate dealt him a tragic hand when he lost his life during World War I while serving his country. This poignant reminder adds depth to this already powerful image. The composition highlights both Faber's athleticism and the elegance of his bicycle. Every detail is meticulously rendered by the French School artist who created this masterpiece. The advertisement-like quality suggests that this poster served as publicity for Faber or perhaps even promoted cycling as a sport. Displayed at Musee de l'Ile de France in Sceaux, France, this artwork pays homage to one of history's greatest cyclists while capturing an era when bicycles were more than just modes of transportation - they represented freedom and adventure. As we admire this print today, let us remember Francois Faber not only as a champion on two wheels but also as a brave soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
