EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the thrilling world of racing during the Tour de France in 1899. The drawing, skillfully created by Ernest Montaut, captures the essence of this iconic event with its intricate details and dynamic composition. In this snapshot from history, we are transported to a bygone era where automotive technology was still in its infancy. The racing car depicted in the artwork showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of early automobile engineering. Its sleek design and powerful presence hint at the excitement that must have filled the air during these races. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays not only the vehicle but also its surroundings. From spectators lining up along an automotive circuit to casual onlookers observing from afar, Montaut brings life to his creation. This drawing serves as a testament to his talent for capturing movement and action within a static image. Preserved through time, this piece now resides within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. It stands as a reminder of our fascination with speed and competition throughout history. As we admire this masterpiece today, we can't help but feel connected to those who witnessed these exhilarating races over a century ago. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every line and shade of Montaut's work while ensuring it remains accessible for all art enthusiasts around the world.
