The first archive is a zinc stencil print by Le Manach from 1929. Very Art Deco in composition and color, it depicts two couples playing lawn tennis, rowers in action, and two speeding automobiles, their movement emphasized by curved lines. Yes, back then, car racing was a sport too. The first 24 Hours of Le Mans were organized in 1923.
