Cycles Strock. ca. 1898.
Cycles Strock gives you wings: at least, if the hat upon your head is adorned with the lead bird, the flock will follow. The Strock company was undoubtedly gear-headed, and its products included motorcycles and autos by the turn of the 20th century. This poster is a particularly majestic memento of its moment: the framing device, of stylized gears, was also a favored element for the Automobile Club of France's auto exhibitions at the Grand Palais. The typography, meanwhile, reminds us of medieval France, and Amiens' enormous 13th-century cathedral. Rare!

Condition: A-/ Slight tears at edges.
Printer: Pomeon, St. Charmond
