    CYCLES COMIOT — Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen

    The poster highlights the exhilaration of modern speed: a rider charges forward on a Comiot bicycle while geese run for cover the composition filled with humor and energy. Steinlen’s strong diagonals and expressive line work capture both motion and excitement, while appealing to the new culture of cycling that swept through Paris in the 1890s.
