L'Etendard Français. 1891.
This is one of just two bicycle posters Chéret created during his career of 50 years. L’Etendard Français was a small manufacturer of bicycles and tricycles, sold primarily out of Paris. Its name translates as “banner," hence the cyclist holding her country’s flag as well as wearing patriotic colors. Here, the company is offering a payment plan of fifty francs down and twenty-five per month thereafter; however, we are not told how many months it will take to pay off our new bicycle.
Size: 33 1/2 x 47 7/8 in./85 x 121.5 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight tears at edges.
Printer: Imp. Chaix, Paris
Reference: Chéret, 1322; Broido 998; Maindron 1896, 820; Reims 345; DFP-II, 219; Bicycle Posters, 52; PAI-LXXIX, 26
Key Words: Art Nouveau; Bicycles; Artist: Chéret
