Backed on cotton canvas and Canson acid-free paper
A highly significant work by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a jewel of the Belle Epoque!
An extremely rare variant printed in lithography on one sheet, measuring 138 x 100 cm.
On this poster promoting the new Motocycles Comiot model (reaching speeds of up to 25 km/h), Steinlen depicts an elegant, modern young woman, contrasting with a couple of farmers hard at work in the background. The flock of frightened geese symbolises the noisy intrusion of modernity and speed into the slow-moving agricultural world.
A major work in an exceptional size.
