“Carmen Cycles “ — Maurice Marodon, 1900s

At the turn of the century the bicycle was freedom itself, and every maker fought for the street with the boldest art it could buy. This Belle Époque poster for Cycles borrows the most famous name in opera, Carmen and sets her cycling glamour against the brand’s name in classic period style.

A charming piece of cycling and advertising history from the golden years of the poster, lovely in a home office, hallway or anywhere that could use a little French flair.
