AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE
A “Slave to the Road”, Adelin Benoit in 1924
number four in a series

Truly an intimate portrait, this amazing print shows in precise detail what a Tour rider in the 1920s looked like – in this case, Belgium’s perennial contender, Adelin Benoit. From the tattered clothes, to the aviator goggles, to the mud all over, the classic sepia-toned photography is a fascinating historical tribute to a more simple and innocent era in the sport of cycling. A classy, artistic addition to the wall of any road warrior – one of our all-time best-sellers!
