EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Alsace-Lorraine, illustration for Le Tour de France" by Marie de Grandmaison takes us back to the enchanting world of a children's storybook. The vibrant color lithograph depicts two schoolboys named Marcel and Robert, who are embarking on an extraordinary adventure through France. As a reward for their exemplary behavior at school, they have been granted bicycles and permission to explore the country. The significance of this illustration lies in its association with the Tour de France, which was previously only known as a journey undertaken by apprentices and journeymen as part of their training. This is the first time that bicycles are mentioned in connection with this iconic event. The image beautifully captures the essence of cycling culture in early 19th-century France. In this scene, we see Marcel and Robert dressed in traditional attire, eagerly setting off on their bikes along a charming street lined with blooming flowers. A map clutched tightly in one hand suggests their determination to navigate through unknown territories. As they pedal away into the distance, a young girl offers them a bouquet of flowers as a symbol of good luck. This delightful illustration not only showcases youthful enthusiasm but also highlights the joyous spirit of exploration and discovery that comes with cycling adventures. It reminds us of the simple pleasures found in childhood tales while capturing our imagination with its timeless charm.
