The Velocipede

Gladiator, Clément, Peugeot and Michelin on the Paris hoardings.

Gladiator by Misti, Clément by Pal, Michelin’s Bibendum by O’Galop: the cycle and tyre makers of the 1890s put their machines in the hands of Paris lithographers, and the bicycle rode across the sheet with a woman, a road or a toast beside it.
