About this Item

THIBAULT, Guy (Foreword) [185] pp. Daily Racing Form 1995 9" x 11 1/4" Inscribed: with my best wishes Peb August 2004 Pierre Camille Lucien Hilaire Jean Bellocq (born November 25, 1926) is a French-American artist and horse racing cartoonist known as "Peb". As a small boy, his family moved to Maisons-Laffitte where his father worked at the local race track. There, at a young age Pierre Bellocq used his natural talent to begin creating caricatures of horses and horse people. At age 19, the French racing journal France Courses gave him national exposure when they published one of his cartoons of a jockey. Bellocq signed the drawing as "Peb", a signature which would become his lifelong moniker. Within a few years Peb was widely known and an emerging artist who also gained recognition for his caricatures on sports advertising posters.
