“The King of the Mountains is the title given to the best climber in a cycling road race”.
This hand printed poster celebrates the Tour de Frances’ greatest Hors Categorie mountain climbs. These gruelling mountain stages define the historic road race and the overall best climber gets to wear the iconic polka dot jersey (le maillot à pois rouge).
Each print names the classic mountains in various shades of Cool Grey, each emerging from the mists of the paper. From the giant mountain passes on Col du Galibier and Col de l'Iseran to the more famous climbs of Alpe d'Huez and Mont Ventoux.
It is created on high quality 200gsm Vellum smooth paper.
