The Gladiator Cycles company, then Gladiator-Clément (1896) is a French company manufacturing cycles and automobiles established in Pré-Saint-Gervais between 1891 and 1920. In 1895, Gladiator produced its first motorized tricycle whose combustion was based of naphtha.

René Leverd is a French watercolourist, poster artist and illustrator. He received a silver medal at the Salon des artistes français of 1891, and many other awards in the salons. On the poster, a Breton farmer strolls on a bicycle on the Breton coast. She is probably coming back from the village market, since fruits, vegetables and a rabbit/hare are in her basket. Behind her, we see a rural warden in anachronistic clothes. Indeed, the cocked hat...
