What it is
A lithograph poster by Johann Georg van Caspel for the Hinde Rijwielen Fabriek of Amsterdam: on the right a woman stands with a bicycle, on the left two children, behind them open country.
Why it matters
Amsterdam cycle makers sold to a country already riding; Hinde chose a mother and children over speed and racing.
What to notice
The Rijksmuseum dates its copy (RP-P-1912-2438) about 1896 to 1898; the BnF catalogues the same design under 1905. The sheet is wider than it is tall, 780 by 1065 mm.
The bicycle as a household good.
