EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1891 showcases a French advertisement for bicycles and tricycles during the Belle Époque era. Created by the talented Jules Cheret, this stunning piece of art captures the essence of late 19th-century France. The lithograph features a vibrant illustration that immediately grabs attention. In the foreground, we see an elegantly dressed woman riding a bicycle with confidence and grace. Her flowing dress and stylish hat add to her allure as she effortlessly glides through the scene. Behind her, a shop displaying various bicycles and tricycles catches our eye, inviting us to explore further. The backdrop of this advertisement is equally intriguing. A flag proudly flutters in the wind, representing France's national colors - blue, white, and red - symbolizing patriotism and pride. This patriotic touch adds depth to the overall composition while emphasizing its French origins. Jules Cheret's masterful use of color brings life to every detail in this lithograph.

As we gaze upon this vintage print today, it serves as both a nostalgic reminder of days gone by and a testament to timeless elegance. It transports us back in time to an era when bicycles were not only modes of transportation but also symbols of freedom and progress. This remarkable artwork from The Granger Collection captures not just an advertisement but also an entire epoch in history – one filled with
