60" Poster on Archival Paper Peugeot motorcycle rider on a road amidst rock outcroppings. As he rounds a bend on his seaside tour, the speeding motorcyclist takes his gaze off the road in order to look the viewer straight in the eye, almost daring anyone to challenge him on the quality of his alabaster ride or his matching sense of fashion. The design makes excellent use of the shape of the rocks, echoing them in the offshore outcropping and even in the clouds puffing about the horizon, as well as the artist's magnificent choice of colors.

60" Poster on Archival Paper In 1898 the Michelin Tire Corporation introduced Bibendum, its company icon. At that time the firm was a leader in the production of pneumatic bicycle tires. By 1900 Michelin achieved dominance in the French market for automobile tires, and on the eve of World War I Michelin supplied approximately a third of the world's tires. While bicycles were becoming mass-market goods, automobiles remained elite commodities. Michelin thus had a vested interest in encouraging automobile travel as a way to sell tires, and in educating new consumers as to its uses and capabilities. Bibendum, helped to do both. Appearing in posters and the press as a well to do Frenchman who embodied contemporary assumptions about class and racial privileges and appropriate activities (such as automobile travel and tourism), Bibendum also dispersed advice on technical matters pertaining to autos and tires.

60" Poster on Archival Paper 1898 Young lady cycles to the top of a hill way ahead of the competition. Attitude is everything in the several Terrot bicycle posters Tamagno created at the turn of the century. In all of them a young lady makes it to the top of a hill way ahead of the competition, effortlessly outdistances an airplane, beats a locomotive coming on at full speed and, as seen here, keeps pace with a male companion atop a Terrot motorbike - although she appears to have taken some sort of shortcut through the underbrush. Her gentleman friend is the picture of good sportsmanship as he outpaces the other riders, but this feisty female, as is always the case in a Tamagno Terrot poster, doesn't neglect to let the competition know in no uncertain - if not precisely ladylike - terms who's the champ.
