Product description
At the turn of the 20th century, the Werner Brothers patented the term motocyclette, marking the birth of a new era in personal transportation. In This print, the 1905 advertisement displays a sophisticated woman in a wide-brimmed hat navigating the Parisian streets with a man and a winged cherub following behind. The composition uses a striking contrast of bold orange and deep teal, utilizing the flat, graphic style of the Art Nouveau period. Curvilinear forms and ornate lettering create a frame that encapsulates the technological optimism of the Belle Époque.
Looking at this print brings one back to a time of rapid innovation and carefree elegance. It evokes the feeling of a crisp Parisian morning when the roar of a new engine was a sound of progress rather than noise. There is a sense of whimsical rebellion in the composition—a woman taking the lead in a modern world, accompanied by a celestial companion. It is an invitation to appreciate the intersection of early mechanical engineering and the graceful aesthetics of the Art Nouveau movement.
It fits the same shelf as our 1900s movie posters, and sits comfortably next to movie poster wall art.
