Hurtu. 1896.
Printed by Lemercier as well as other firms, this basic design was used by Hurtu over a number of years and became firmly associated with the brand. Each edition had minor changes—the color of the road or the background, for example—as well as adjustments to the rider's garb as the fashions of the day dictated. The original version probably appeared around 1894, and the identity of the initial designer remains unknown to us today—and even to the organizers of the 1896 Reims exhibition.
Size: 42 5/8 x 59 3/8 in./108.2 x 150.8 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight tears at folds and edges.
Printer: Imp. Lemercier, Paris
Reference: Ref (all var but PAI): Reims, 173; Bicycle Posters, 68; PAI-LXXIX, 11
