It's a flowing-haired Goddess with her winged bicycle! This cool black and white 1890s transportation poster print was created for Gladiator Bicycles by an unknown French artist whose initials are "L. W."
This is a 1970s reprint taken from the original 1895 work from a volume of transportation illustrations through the ages. "Gladiator Bicycles" was printed on super heavy grade paper with a lovely matte finish. This is a replica of the original and it's in perfect condition.
This glorious reprint of the Golden Age Of Invention and Transportation is BIG! It measures 11" x 16" overall. The print itself is 9" x 13." There's another print for Crawford Bicycles on the reverse side. You may have a bit of a struggle deciding which nifty poster to frame. I'll leave that up to you.

Matted, framed, and displayed as a gallery grouping, these charming vintage poster prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last photo are to show how this might look when it's framed. Your print will come to you unmatted and unframed.)
