EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Henri Thiriat, titled "Dayton Cycles," dates back to the 1890s and offers a glimpse into the nascent era of bicycle culture in America. The image, which is composed of four colors - vermilion, gray, blue, and black - depicts a bustling scene on Rue Lafayette in Paris, where a crowd of men and women are gathered around Dayton Cycles, an American brand. The bicycles, with their elegant designs and intricate details, are displayed proudly on two sheets, attracting the attention of passersby. Henri Thiriat's artistic flair is evident in the dynamic composition and the ornate lettering that adorns the advertisement. The use of Art Nouveau influences is apparent in the flowing lines and organic forms, which were popular during this time period. The advertisement's rich colors and intricate details transport us back to the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate the history and heritage of both the bicycle industry and the advertising art form. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) houses this rare and valuable piece, which is a testament to the enduring appeal of bicycles and the artistry of advertising in the late 1800s. The image captures the excitement and energy of the time, as people embraced the freedom and independence that the bicycle represented. Whether you're a history buff, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this lithograph by Henri Thiriat is sure to captivate and inspire.
