EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating advertising poster from 1899 showcases the artistic brilliance of Swiss artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. Measuring an impressive 193x132.8 cm, this colour lithograph features a bustling outdoor scene set in the picturesque countryside of nineteenth-century France. The poster depicts a small group of people gathered around a medium-sized group of farm animals, including a curious goose. The main focus is on a stylishly dressed cyclist riding one of Motorcycles Comiot's innovative bicycles, with bold French text promoting the brand alongside. The artist skillfully captures the essence of rural life during this time period, blending it seamlessly with elements of modernity and progress. Steinlen's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the clothing and headwear worn by the characters to the intricate lettering that adorns the poster. The vivid colors used create an eye-catching contrast against the backdrop of rolling hills and blue skies. With its art nouveau style and impeccable composition, this print serves as both an advertisement for Motorcycles Comiot and a fascinating glimpse into late nineteenth-century society. It transports viewers back in time to an era when communication equipment was rapidly evolving, capturing their imagination with its charm and nostalgia. This remarkable piece now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate audiences worldwide through its reproduction by Bridgeman Images.
