French Belle Epoque Vintage Poster for ‘Cycles Andru’ by Douzinelle, 1890s

This is a Belle Époque period French advertising poster for Andru Cycles from the 1890s. This is a wonderfully made stone lithograph featuring an elegantly dressed woman in the center foreground of the image. A winding road extends out behind her, with fields and the outline of a town in the background, creating a picturesque country scene. The use of both realistic details and fluid curving lines coupled with bold block typography creates a classically Belle Epoque period advertising poster. This poster was created by the artist Dourzinelle.
