Bicycle Posters
CURATED COLLECTIONAdvertising from the bicycle boom at the end of the nineteenth century, when the machine was new, expensive and genuinely liberating, and the posters sold it as freedom rather than as transport. Strong diagonals, very few colours, and a figure leaning into the movement so that the sheet reads before you have registered what it is selling. Printed to order on canvas, framed canvas or fine art paper.
