Our Posters provide a glimpse of an era when the bicycle was the king of transportation and on the cutting edge of technology.
These posters depict famous races and racers, bicycle brands and component manufactures.
Beautiful women in elegant clothes are often part of the advertising message of these posters. This is because the manufacturers were selling freedom to women in the suffragette era at the turn of the century as much as they were selling bicycles.
Henri Boulanger was also known by the pseudonym "Gray" or "H. Gray" which he adopted early on in his career. Gray began his career as an illustrator, contributing his works to magazines and journals. In 1882, he was a principal artist for a magazine called Paris's Amuse. He then moved to Chronique Parisienne where he was also a principal artist designing the covers for the magazine. He produced a number of posters during the height of the poster craze in Paris, which remain sought after throughout the world today.
