192726905Portrait signé par René Lacoste [Wimbledon, 1927]. 1 tirage (115 x 170 mm) dans l'encadrement (280 x 335 mm) monté sur carton, floqué du logo Lacoste. Signé par René Lacoste à l'encre noire.
26905Wimbledon 1927. 1 tirage 115 x 170 mm dans l'encadrement 280 x 335 mm monté sur carton floqué du logo Lacoste. . Signé par René Lacoste à l'encre noire. . René Lacoste l'un des « Quatre Mousquetaires » du tennis français avec Henri Cochet Jean Borotra et Jacques Brugnon a remporté la Coupe Davis pour la France en 1927 et 1928. Sur le plan individuel il a remporté à trois reprises les Internationaux de France de tennis 1925 1927 1929 deux fois le tournoi de Wimbledon 1925 1928 et deux fois l'US Open 1926 1927. Il fut désigné meilleur joueur du monde en 1926 et 1927. René Lacoste est évidemment connu pour ses activités d'industriel et particulièrement pour la marque de textile portant son nom dont le logo est un crocodile. Son surnom « le crocodile » the Alligotor lui fut attribué par la presse américaine à la suite d'un pari qu'il aurait fait en 1923 avec Allan Muhr alors capitaine de l'équipe de Coupe Davis à Boston. Lacoste aurait craqué sur une superbe malle en alligator dans la vitrine d'une boutique. Allan Muhr voyant l'intérêt de acoste pour cet objet lui aurait proposé ce pari : s'il remporte un match décisif la malle est à lui. Le match fut perdu mais l'anecdote du pari remonta jusqu'à un journaliste qui décida de surnommer Lacoste The Alligator ce qualificatif rappelant aussi qu'il était un joueur tenace « qui ne lâchait jamais sa proie ». S'inspirant du surnom donné à Lacoste Robert George dessine alors un crocodile qu'il fait broder en 46 couleurs sur le blazer blanc que porte en avant match Lacoste au niveau de la poche. Cette photographie prise à Wimbledon en 1927 est l'un des plus célèbres du joueur arborant ce fameux blazer. Six ans plus tard après avoir mis un terme à sa carrière il lance avec André Gillier le leader de la bonneterie française la marque Lacoste une collection de polos principalement destinée aux joueurs de tennis et aux golfeurs. Habitués à porter une chemise aristocratique à manches les joueurs de tennis vont rapidement se laisser convaincre par le caractère à la fois sportif et élégant de ces nouvelles tenues. Ce logo à usage personnel devient vite le symbole de la marque. Le logo varie selon les tailles et couleurs avant que Lacoste ne tranche pour un petit crocodile vert à écailles blanches gueule ouverte et rouge. Qui ne connaîtra aucune variation jusqu'en 2011 où le logo subit une légère refonte. [Wimbledon, 1927]. 1 tirage (115 x 170 mm) dans l'encadrement (280 x 335 mm) monté sur carton, floqué du logo Lacoste. unknown
