About the Item

Original vintage poster for Gladiator Bicycle created in 1910. Artist: Leverd R. Title: Gladiator Date: 1910 Size (w x h): 46.9 x 63 in / 119 x 160 cm Printer: Imp. E. Bougard, 3 rue Emile Gilbert, Paris Materials and Techniques: Colour lithograph on paper Linen backing: Yes Condition: A (Normally designates a poster in very good condition. Colours are fresh and there is very little or no paper loss. Any imperfections are marginal and unnoticeable). Additional Details: Advertising poster designed by René Leverd in 1910 for the promotion of Gladiator brand cycles. 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. In 1896, Adolphe Clément, Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, and Harry John Lawson, associated with Harvey du Cros, owner of Dunlop, take stakes in the company and undertake to create a conglomerate. 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 disappeared in favor of the kepi in 1840. In the distance, a black cat runs after the farmer's wife (wooden clogs and Breton headdress). We are specialized in fine prints and original vintage posters and have been providing expert advice to international clients, collectors and museums since 1970. We guarantee the authenticity of all our items.
