The story

Colombes, May 1927. The president hands the Coupe de France to Olympique de Marseille, and Agence Rol records the moment for the papers. Marseille had beaten US Quevilly three to nothing in the final, with goals from Raymond Durand, Maurice Gallay and Jules Dewaquez, and the trophy was theirs for the third time in four seasons after 1924 and 1926. The photograph puts the presentation in the middle of the crowd, players and officials and spectators together. This is French football’s great day as it ended, the cup changing hands in a crowd.

About this reproduction

A reproduction of press photograph — Agence Rol, 1927 — from the copy held by Bibliothèque nationale de France, Gallica · via Wikimedia Commons. The source. The work was published before 1931 and is public-domain verified.
Printed faithful to that source scan — restore honestly, disclose always. We do not re-colour it, complete it, or interpret it; the piece you receive is the image as it survives, halftone grain honored as history, not damage.
Printed to order on museum-grade cotton-rag stock with pigment inks — the pairing is rated 100+ years.
Colour-managed to the source; the tone of the paper and the ink is the period’s, not ours.
Ships in 5–10 business days, rolled in a heavy-wall tube (framed editions ship flat-packed).
If it arrives less than perfect, we reprint or refund — your choice.

Why our pieces cost more than a poster: a poster is a mass run on wood-pulp stock, colour-corrected to whatever flattered the press that day. This is one sheet, pulled for you, at a size where the maker’s hand is visible — the linework, the halftone grain, the lettering — on materials made to outlast their owner.
