Conditions Explained:
It is important to remember that you are buying an original vintage fine art poster an not a reproduction of any kind. We do not use terms like “mint” or “near mint” condition, as they are highly subjective. Each of our pieces is photographed in high quality so you can zoom in and view the poster in greater detail. In addition we use the following IVPDA (International Vintage Poster Dealers Association) approved condition rating system:
"A" Condition: the poster is in fine condition. The colours are fresh and there is no paper loss. If there is a slight tear, or folds, it is very unobtrusive.
"B" Condition: the poster is in good condition. The colours are acceptable. While slight paper loss maybe evident, it does not distract from the image. Restoration, if any, is not immediately apparent.
"C" Condition: the poster is in fair condition. Colours are faded, and there are signs of more extensive restoration. Existing folds are more visible, and possibly minor paper loss.
We further use '+' or '-' to more precisely describe the condition of a particular item (e.g.: B+). On top of this, we describe any “condition particularities” for individual pieces on its product page.
We apply the above condition rating system to all our posters and prints. If you have additional questions regarding our piece’s condition, we invite you to submit any inquiries.

CYCLES COTTEREAU "sont les meilleurs" or "are the best" advertises this enormous poster. Designed in a gorgeous fairytale-like, art nouveau style, it was designed for the Dijon-based bicycle company in 1897 by René Prejelan (1877-1968). René was a French illustrator and poster artist. In the early 20th century, he produced sequential pages for La Joie des Enfants (1905) and the comic 'Jo et Josette' for Qui Lit Rit (around 1905-07). He also illustrated for La Vie Parisienne.
Particulars: This lithographic poster has been backed on acid-free linen paper (see poster and print conservation and restoration). It is in good condition, with some slight spot discolouration (see at base of the well goddess sits on), some restored and repaired tears (e.g.: see above pond flowers), and some slight and sporadic paper bubbling. Overall there is not significant damage.
