Manufacture Francaise d’Armes et Cycles, Rene Giffey

This poster is an original first printing, not a reproduction.

Rene Giffey was a prolific artist over his 50-year career.  In this charming cycling poster, he captures a wonderful scene of a lady on a town bike leaving a runner and worn out dog to eat her dust.

This poster has been archivally and professionally linen backed.  Virtually all original vintage posters of this era were viewed as temporary advertising and were printed on very thin paper. While expensive, linen backing is a conservation method used to mount, stabilize, preserve and protect vintage posters so they can be displayed or framed without compromising value. We take great care to insure the posters in our collection are linen backed by a very competent professional in France who uses acid-free materials and executes a process that is entirely reversible.
