Artist: ALFRED CHOUBRAC (1853-1902) Size: 11 3/4 x 16 5/8 in./30 x 42.2 cm Condition: B+/ Slight tear at horizontal fold. Printer: Reference: Ref: DFP-II, 275; PAI-XXXVIII, 281 (var) Key Words: Bicycles; By Air, Land, or Sea; Art Nouveau Pneu Beeston. ca. 1894. Choubrac was one of the pioneers of French poster art; in 1884, when Maindron published his first article on posters, he listed only nine active posterists known to him, and included the three poster artists whose work made up the first poster exhibition, held that same year in the Passage Vivienne in Paris: Alfred and Léon Choubrac and Jules Chéret Though Beeston tires might promote their product as “The King of the Road,” Choubrac opts for a far more curvaceous calling card to attract attention to the pneumatic road hugger. And rightly so, we might add: a chorus girl trumps royalty almost every time. This is the smaller in-store display version.
