EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment in the French Alps, where an eagle swoops down to steal a cyclist's cap. The color litho artwork, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the incredible power and agility of this majestic bird. The image was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on September 3rd, 1911. It depicts a startled female cyclist riding along a road in the breathtaking alpine landscape when she is taken by surprise as an eagle snatches her cap right off her head. The intensity of the scene is palpable as both rider and bird are frozen in action. The composition beautifully portrays not only the unexpected encounter between human and wildlife but also highlights the harmonious coexistence between nature and sport. The cyclist's determination to continue her bike ride despite this unusual interruption speaks volumes about the resilience of athletes and their ability to adapt to unforeseen challenges. This artwork serves as a reminder of France's rich sporting culture and its diverse natural landscapes that provide endless opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether it be cycling through picturesque mountain roads or witnessing awe-inspiring encounters with wildlife, France truly offers something extraordinary for every adventurer at heart. Through this stunning visual narrative, we are transported back in time to witness this remarkable event unfold before our eyes – forever captured within this vibrant print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection.
