La Motocyclette Antoine.
For an early Belgian motorcycle manufacturer, Gaudy relies on an old trope of bicycle posters: a charming young lady with a totally inappropriate outfit. We'll ignore the dangerously long skirt and focus instead on the welcoming wave, the rural fields, and the elegant Belle Epoque type. This is a two-sheet poster.
