Artist: PAL (Jean de Paléologue, 1860-1942) Size: 54 3/8 x 76 1/2 in./138 x 194.3 cm Condition: B/ Slight tears, largely at folds. Printer: Imp. Caby & Chardin, Paris Reference: DFP-II, 696 (var); Bicycle Posters, 48 (var); Petite Reine, 33; PAI-LXXV, 14 Key Words: Art Nouveau; Bicycles; Artist: Pal Liberator Cycles & Automobiles. 1899. This is one of the most famous posters in the world—often copied, and often poorly. But this original large-format printing has vibrant coloration and exquisite detail that we rarely see—note our Valkyrie's chain-mail miniskirt, with textured rings and metallic shimmer. Pal's triumph here is the culmination of the "Bicycle Craze" of the 1890s, which indeed delivered liberation for female riders and sparked the modern women's rights movement. This is a two-sheet poster. Price: $1680 (starting bid + 20% buyer’s premium) Want this item? Place an online bid, or CALL US NOW for this special price 212-787-4000 Until November 5 only!
