Cycles Clement Paris - Vintage French Bicycle Poster

Cycles Clément, Paris - Pneu Dunlop

The artwork for the original colour lithograph was created by Jean de Paleologue, published by Caby & Chardin, Imprimeurs, Paris, for the famous Clément Cycles in 1898.

In 1896 Adolphe Clément owned the very profitable manufacturing rights for Dunlop Tyres in France. He entered into a partnership with a syndicate led by Dunlop's founder Harvey Du Cros to buy out the Gladiator Cycle Company and then later merged the company to become the major bicycle manufacturing conglomerate of Clément, Gladiator & Humber & Co Limited.. The company grew and in 1902 the motorised bicycle led to cars and motorcycles. From 1909 the company became known as Clément-Bayard.

About the artist: Jean de Paleologu was a Romanian poster artist and illustrator and often signed his works with the letters PAL as his logo. He was born in Bucharest and trained in England before returning to Romania to attend a military academy. He worked between London and Paris and immigrated to the United States in 1900. His works appeared in many periodicals, including Vanity Fair, Strand Magazine, New York Herald Tribune, Plume, Rire, Cocorico, Froufrou, Sans-Gêne, and Vie en Rose.
