About the Item

CLÉMENT CYCLES is a fine art lithograph re-creation after the original French advertising poster created by PAL(Jean de Paleologue) for Fernand Clément Bicycle Co., France. Hand crafted in the USA by French trained master artisans, printed in 7 colors from hand drawn lithographic plates using the same traditional lithography techniques as in the printing ateliers in France during the late 1800's. 
 Superb quality, not a photo reproduction or digital print - printed on heavyweight archival paper, 100% acid free with special UV resistant inks, very rich, vivid colors and detailed drawing. This extra large CLÉMENT CYCLES poster featuring a beautiful young woman on a bicycle with a glowing yellow moon behind her, is true to the original size created in 1897. CLÉMENT CYCLES looks outstanding when professionally framed! Oversize poster - 52 x 38 in., unframed, excellent condition Jean de Paleologu (or Paleologue) 1855 - 1942, was a Romanian poster artist, painter, and illustrator, who often used Pal or PAL as his signature or logo and was active in France and the United States. Born Jean de Paleologu in Bucharest, he trained in England, then returned to Romania and attended a military academy, before visiting London again several times and moving to Paris more permanently. He left Paris for the United States in 1900. Paleologu illustrated Petits poèmes russes (Small Russian Poems) by Catulle Mendès, which was published by Charpentier in 1893. His work also appeared in many periodicals, including Vanity Fair, Strand Magazine, New York Herald Tribune, Plume, Rire, Cocorico, Froufrou, Sans-Gêne, and Vie en Rose. He also painted some portraits of comedians and music-hall performers and created some of the most influential poster advertisements for bicycle manufacturers (such as the Déesse) and cycling events, often featuring beautiful women. During the latter part of his life in the United States, he worked in applied graphics: at first magazines, later ads and publicity for the auto, film and animation industries. Paleologu died in Miami Beach.
