A Cycling Centipede: The greatest bicycle race in the world, The Tour De France, is also one of the most photographed. For 22 days as cyclists pedals 2,800 tortuous miles through towns and open countryside, cameras bristle everywhere. But seldom has a photograph captured the grinding spirit of The Tour De France better than the one taken last month by photographer Robert Delvac. As the cyclists pumped painfully over Mount Faron in the French Alps, strung out like a centipede on wheels, Delvac shot his panorama of raw rock and laboring muscle.

This image is cut out directly from the very 1st edition of Life Magazine published November 23,1936. This is decoupaged not transferred.
