About the Item

Original French poster: Cycles Clement Motocycles, La Plus Vaste Usine de Monde; artist: PAL, (Jean de Paléologue) 1860-1942, c. 1895 original stone lithograph; archival linen backed. B+ condition. Belle Epoque image of a woman with her breast exposed. During the 1890s, this was quite often found in these early vintage posters. La Belle Époque comes from French and means 'Beautiful Era. This was an era in fashion and a time of opulence and extravagance. If you have to have an allegorical representation of "the largest factory in the world," it doesn't hurt to make it a statuesque beauty with a resolute expression and a peek-a-boo bodice, especially seeing as the factory itself is recreated as far-less attractive, yet far more concrete evidence in the background behind her.

This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed to preserve and protect the poster, and in very good B+ condition; over 125 years old. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
