EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a poster advertising Michelin tyres from 1913. Created by the talented French artist Marius Rossillon, also known as O Galop, this colour lithograph measures an impressive 119x78 cm. The poster features a cyclist in action, embodying the spirit of sport and adventure. The composition is filled with dynamic elements that draw the viewer's attention. The cyclist is depicted bending forward on their bicycle, ready to set off on a journey. In the background, we see a beautiful sunset casting its warm glow over the scene. The poster cleverly combines artistry with effective communication. Bold yellow lettering stands out against the backdrop, promoting Michelin tyres as essential equipment for any cycling enthusiast. The attention to detail is remarkable; even small touches like smoke rising from a cigarette held by one of the men add depth and realism to the image. This print captures not only an advertisement but also reflects early twentieth-century French art and culture. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and technological innovation in advertising during this period. Displayed in portrait style, this piece would make an excellent addition to any art collector's private collection or serve as inspiration for those interested in vintage advertisements or cycling history.
