This is an original French advertising poster printed in 1896. It is not a reproduction. This French poster emphasizing its roots in the United States with a tumbling banner of stars and stripes promotes American Crescent Cycles to the European market. Already an exceptionally popular brand at home, other Crescent advertisements from the time boast sales in the tens of thousands, whereas this patriotic design uses a smartly-dressed redhead and its mascot on the crescent moon to win over a foreign clientele. Signed by artist Louis Oury. The paper poster has been linen back to protect it from tears and rips. Measures 15 x 23 inches. Like what you see? Check out my eBay store Bungalowblondie Store  Free shipping in the USA.
