Description
Cycling/W.Bradley/Expo 1900/Crescent/Spalding/Art nouveau...Fabulous illustrated catalog of the American Bicycle Company published in 1900 for the World Fair of Paris. Under a double lithographed color cover of the brilliant William Bradley (cover and fourth, 1868-1962)), we are invited on 44 pages to the presentation of the most beautiful models of the manufacturers of the Company... For each machine the frieze is different! And so we discover the bicycles with which Lesna, Trousselier, Aucouturier and others signed their first or last exploits...Columbia, Cleveland, Cresccent, Rambler, Spalding and others make here sparks. 23,5x11,5. The fertile and high-flying meeting of two new arts, cycling and art. A museum piece.
