American Crescent Cycles. 1899.
Ramsdell studied at the Art Students League of New York, then left for Paris, where his work was shown at the Paris Salon between 1891 and 1898. This was the sweet spot for the French advertising poster, of course, and especially the work of Éugene Grasset, whose style Ramsdell appropriates in spectacular style.
