What it is
A poster by Ivo Puhonny, printed by Adolf Odenwald's lithographic works in Baden-Baden in 1900, for the Velodrom Sporthalle, billed as Baden-Baden's largest establishment; this is the Nagel u Menz text and colour variant.
Why it matters
Indoor cycle tracks were a fashionable sport of 1900, and the hall's poster carried its advertisers' names on the same design.
What to notice
The BnF holds a second variant with Karl Vogel u C° in place of Nagel u Menz: one design, two advertisers.
A spa town's new leisure, sold by a local hand.
