About

Bring the romance and elegance of the Belle Époque into an interior with this large-scale antique French advertising poster for Cycles Andru, created circa 1890. Executed as a richly colored stone lithograph and signed Dourzinelle, the composition captures a fashionable young woman paused beside her bicycle while holding a bouquet of yellow roses along a winding country road overlooking a distant village. The graceful silhouette, flowing landscape, and bold typography embody the refined artistry that made French commercial posters of the late 19th century highly collectible works of art.
The poster is professionally linen-backed, the archival conservation method traditionally used for important antique lithographs. Originally printed on thin paper intended for temporary public display, surviving examples are increasingly scarce, particularly in this impressive scale and presentation. The artwork is further enhanced by a clean custom frame that allows the soft pastel palette and vivid red tones to stand out beautifully.
Ideal for a game room, study, exercise room, or gallery wall, this antique cycling poster combines decorative impact with authentic Belle Époque character. A striking statement piece for collectors of French advertising art, bicycle memorabilia, or Art Nouveau décor.
Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
Dimensions: 48.75″W x 65″H.
