Percy Drake Brookshaw Art

Percy Drake Brookshaw was born in Southwark, in London, and educated at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a particularly accomplished lithographer, skilled also as a painter in both oil and watercolor. Identifying the former talent, F Gregory Brown, the poster and textile designer, encouraged him to become an illustrator and poster designer. He produced posters for London Transport and Shell, inter alia, between 1928–58. Many of his posters depict sporting events. His two posters for the annual University Boat Race are well known and highly sought after, and his wonderful posters often evoke a feeling of movement, whether rowers straining on their oars or horses or greyhounds racing.

Vintage "Cycles Alphonse Thomann", 50th Anniversary bicycle poster 1949 lithog

Located in Spokane, WA

Pier Gobbe's 1949 Cycles Alphonse Thomann poster is a masterpiece of kinetic energy and commercial elegance. Created to celebrate the bicycle manufacturer's 50th anniversary, this lithograph captures the exhilaration of speed through bold graphic simplification and masterful use of limited color. The composition features a bicycle wheel rendered in luminous orange, dominating the composition against a soft blue sky, while a set of wings ingeniously emerges from the center of the tire—a whimsical visual metaphor suggesting the bicycle's power to transport riders swiftly across the landscape. Gobbe's design demonstrates the sophisticated restraint characteristic of 1940s French commercial art. Rather than cluttering the composition with ornamental detail, he focuses on essential forms and a refined color palette of light blue and warm orange, allowing the image to breathe. The unbleached natural cotton paper stock, with its characteristic tan tone, adds authentic period warmth. The typography is confident and clean, perfectly complementing the geometric elegance of the wheel-and-wing motif. This vintage bicycle poster...
