Peugeot Cycles. 1897.
Peugeot began production as a maker of various household goods, especially items which required simple mechanisms, such as pepper grinders. Their specialization in metal domestic necessities led to making the steel rods needed in female undergarments, which, as the company grew, ultimately landed them in the bicycle business. Whether intentional or not, this poster beautifully sums up that trajectory, placing a plucky redhead on top of a brand-new Peugeot cycle.

Condition: A-/ Slight tears at edges.
Printer: Affiches Camis, Paris
