Cycles Gladiator

Here's one way to advertise bicycles, the French way. Cycles Gladiator (ca 1895) is featured in Swann Galleries' annual winter auction of Vintage Posters in New York on 12 February, estimated at $10,000 to $15,000. Many of the posters promote skiing resorts. Early Olympic Games posters are also in the auction. There are Art Deco and Art Nouveau designs, including a set by Alphonse Mucha (CLICK).
