About the Item

Original antique sports advertising poster for an equestrian and cycle racing event show held at the Velodrome de la Seine in Paris on 11 and 12 November - S.F. Cody contre un tandem contre Fournier & Gaby en bicyclette tandem Grand Match de 20,000Fcs entre le Tandem & 6 Chevaux / SF Cody against Fournier and Gaby on a tandem bicycle Grand Match for 20,000 Francs between the Tandem and 6 Horses - featuring a great design depicting two men riding a tandem bicycle at speed on a track next to the famous American Wild West showman Samuel Franklin Cowdery (Samuel Franklin Cody; 1867-1913) on a horse watched by spectators in the field with trees in the background, the bold stylised text above and below. This 178 kilometre race held during Cody's European Tour was won by Fournier and Gaby. Due changing his name, the notable showman SF Cody was often confused with Buffalo Bill Cody; he was also an aviator and early aeronautics pioneer, known for working on the 1904 Cody War Kite manned flying machine used by the British for artillery spotting and, in 1908, he was the first man to fly an aeroplane built in Britain. Printed by Parisienne Mon. Emile Levy, Paris. Large size. Good condition, restored tears, restored folds, restored paper losses, staining, backed on linen.

Late 19th Century French Vintage "Cycles Andru" Poster
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a game room or exercise room with this large and colorful antique Belle Epoque poster! Created by artist Dourzinelle circa 1890 for Andru Cycles, the wonderfully made stone lithograph features an elegantly dressed woman in the center foreground of the image. A winding road extends out behind her, with fields and the outline of a town in the background, creating a picturesque country scene. The use of both realistic details and fluid curving lines coupled with bold block typography creates a classically Belle Epoque period advertising poster. This poster has been professionally linen backed. Virtually all original vintage posters of this era were viewed as temporary advertising and were printed on fragile, thin paper. While expensive, linen backing is a conservation method used to mount, stabilize, preserve, and protect vintage posters so they can be displayed or framed without compromising value...
