EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print by Henri Thiriat, titled "Dayton Cycles," dates back to the 1890s, offering a glimpse into the burgeoning world of bicycle transportation in America. The image, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases two individuals, a man and a woman, proudly posing with their Dayton bicycles on a Parisian street, Rue Lafayette. The vibrant, Art Nouveau-inspired design is a testament to the allure and excitement of this new mode of transportation that was sweeping across the United States and Europe. Henri Thiriat, a French artist, masterfully employs a rich color palette of vermilion, gray, blue, and black to bring the scene to life. The brand name "Dayton Cycles" is prominently displayed in elegant lettering, reflecting the importance of brand identity in an era when consumer culture was beginning to take hold. The bicycles themselves are depicted in intricate detail, with their sleek frames, large wheels, and ornate design elements, all contributing to their appeal. The print, which spans two sheets, offers a fascinating look at the intersection of art, transportation, and commerce during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the enduring impact of the bicycle as a symbol of freedom, adventure, and modernity, and the role that advertising played in shaping our cultural landscape.
