Smits, Paris Reference: Ref: PAI-XLVI, 401 Key Words: Bicycles; Art Nouveau; By Air, Land, or Sea Alcyon. ca. 1900. “Alcyon” is the Latin word from which “halcyon” derived, and according to the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, the halcyon was “a bird... that was fabled by the ancients to nest at sea in a floating nest about the time of the winter solstice and to calm the waves during incubation.” Obviously, Mangin was well-aware of this classical allusion, and used it to provide a peaceful, classical portent to his lovely poster for light and fast Alcyon bicycles with its “Groove the World” call to ride.
