Description

This vibrant French lithograph advertises 'L'Etendard Français' bicycles and tricycles from the Ateliers de Constructions Mécaniques at 113 Quai d'Orsay, Paris, featuring a triumphant woman in a red dress riding a penny-farthing bicycle while waving a French flag. The composition radiates patriotic energy and the confident optimism of late 19th-century industrial France, rendered in the bold, expressive linework typical of Belle Époque commercial printing. On a wall, it reads as a dynamic, colourful statement piece that blends fashion history, cycling heritage, and French national pride.
