This morning, I received this boys' book c1930... You know that I like rugby
illustrations from youth litterature (nice drawings, vivid colors etc...), but
this one is too much ! The smiles.. the haircuts... even the sunshine... too
much
I can't resist to draw a parallel with this image from the same period showing
basically the same thing, i.e. a ball holder running from two opponents... Back
to French championship (CASG / US QUILLAN) : the Parisian 3/4 (yes, with a
beret...) is trying to escape these two terrrrrible forwards from Quillan (many
"r" in "terrible"... as they say in tthe the very deep South of France...)... You could almost feel his fear... he
running for his life... (hardly a joke : French rugby was so violent in these
days...)
Toujours bien placé ce Kako......
