About the Item

Cycles Onyx by Fritayre Original 1925 Vintage French Bicycle Company Stone Lithograph Poster Linen Backed. Woman in a blue and green cape on a bicycle on a mountain top with sunset behind her. Artist: Fritayre Title: Cycles Onyx Medium: Stone Lithograph Poster Linen Backed. Signed and dated in the plate, upper right. Circa: 1925 Origin: France Printer: Fritayre - St. Etienne Dimensions: 39 1/2 x 25 3/4 in. In excellent condition As the evening sun sets on the horizon the intrepid female cyclists sits proudly on her Onyx Bicycle. She’s looking pleased with herself, and she has every right to. Although not particularly dressed for mountain biking, the elegantly-dressed socialite has conquered the highest peak of the stone mountain… which may be a metaphor for Cycles Onyx reaching the pinnacle of bicycle manufacturing. The banded layers on the mountaintop are picked out in hues of green and orange suggesting that the peak itself is made of onyx. The rider’s cape billows around her body protectively. The bold and daring cyclist looks every bit like a caped superhero, but one wouldn’t be created for another thirteen years. The art deco inspired Cycles Onyx poster is signed by the artist Fritayre, who has only used, orange, green and black to create the poster. The three colours were popular Onyx jewellery colours during the 1920s. The rays of the golden sun radiate like a shining gemstone, casting an orange glow on the woman’s dress. The sun is setting behind a perfectly smooth black onyx sea. While the heroine of the image sits confidently and assuredly astride her Onyx bicycle. She’s made it look easy!
