What it is
A lithograph poster by Johann Georg van Caspel for Hamers rijwielen, showing six cyclists in the Dutch countryside; dated about 1912 and bought by the Rijksmuseum that year.
Why it matters
By 1912 the Dutch bicycle was a group outing, and van Caspel drew the outing rather than the machine.
What to notice
The sheet is wide, 630 by 1060 mm, so the riders read as a procession along the horizon.
A wide poster from a country with no hills.
