Pedals of Pioneering Spirit - Charles Terront's Historic Ride to Glory
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ceramic print from 1908, French cyclist Charles Terront is immortalized in mid-stride as he competes in the inaugural long-distance cycle race between Paris and Brest in 1891. The artist Ernest Montaut brings a sense of drama and movement to the scene, with Terront's determined expression and outstretched arm conveying his unwavering dedication to the sport.
As one of France's most celebrated cyclists at the time, Terront was no stranger to long-distance racing. His victory in this pioneering event marked a significant milestone in cycling history, paving the way for future generations of athletes. The ceramic tiles manufactured by Gilardoni Fils et Cie of Paris add an extra layer of depth and texture to Montaut's original drawing.
The Art Nouveau foliage surrounding Terront adds a touch of elegance and whimsy to the piece, while the crucifix in the background serves as a poignant reminder of the spiritual significance that cycling held for many athletes at this time. This stunning print not only celebrates one man's remarkable achievement but also pays tribute to an era when human-powered transportation was revolutionizing society.
