Athletics/France-England/Colombes/110m hurdles. School board: "Tableaux d'élocution CE2, Le Stade, n°10, Sur le Stade (races, jumps, throws)... A fine educational creation, on the athletics stadium. Editions Rossignol, based in Montmorillon (Vienne), have decided to plunge us right into the heart of a match by showing us the finish of the 110m hurdles at a France-England match in Colombes in the early 50s. England leads 65-55, the scoreboard tells us. Has it taken into account the victory of our 71 over the 37? We're not sure. This two-man match bears witness to a time when athletics was still the king of sports. 55.5x76. On verso, n°9, at the ZOO). Nice decorative piece. Small tear.
