Daniel Rebour - Illustrator. Who's your favourite cycling illustrator/Cartoonist?

Mint Sauce. Now that's a proper blast from the past. Anyone know the artists identity, or is it a cycling ' banksy'?

Artist is Jo Burt:

Jo has a compendium book of Mint Sauce (Lost summers and Half Forgotten Afternoons) available to pre-order at the moment.

Links on his Instagram @Vecchiojo, which is also worth a follow for an eclectic feed of CX, gravel, adventure riding, retro cars and also the odd cat picture.

Here's another few classic Rebour from Le Cycle magazine.

Here are two of my favourite vintage race posters, again artist unknown, but skill evident

The first picture is by Jan Lutz, a Dutch illustrator and cartoonist. Here's a book cover he did. Gotta love the grim reaper shadow:

My favourite is Walter Molino. Nobody captured the drama quite like he did.

Roger Rivière's crash during the descent of the Col de Perjuret in 1960, which would cripple him and end his career:



Stan Ockers' fatal 1956 crash in Antwerp:

Who could not know a Jef (with one “F” in his name dropped because it made him lighter)….always makes me laugh.

Le Cyclo seemed a bit of an authoritarian regime, though each edition they did let Rebour do some cartoons. Here's one with a quick critique of 'standardisation'. Though to put the words 'standards ' and French component manufacture together seems pretty futile Translation:

Standardisation

Look at this poor frame manufacturer, hesitating in front of his many templates and pigs for brake studs, pump holders, derailleur and dynamo brackets, and so on. Doesn't he have plenty of excuses for making mistakes? How much simpler the work would be if there were a reasonable degree of standardisation!
