What a lovely little piece of artwork, couldn’t resist sharing!
“For most of its century-plus of existence, having a French brand supply the official sportswear to the Tour de France was a fait accompli.In the thirties and forties a small Parisian sportswear company located on 40 rue de Maubeuge called Unis-Sport furnished the TdF organization with  jerseys.All those classic flag-like national team jerseys, the maillots Jaune et Vert, and the iconic apres-velo t-shirt that you often saw on somebody hovering in the background in old black and white Tour photos.   It was the official ‘chemise’ of the Tour”
