L'Etendard Français. 1891.
This is one of just two bicycle posters Chéret created during his career of 50 years. L’Etendard Français was a small manufacturer of bicycles and tricycles, sold primarily out of Paris. Its name translates as “banner," hence why the cyclist is both holding her country’s flag as well as wearing patriotic colors. Here, the company is offering a payment plan of fifty francs down and twenty-five per month thereafter; however, we are not told how many months it will take to pay off our new bicycle.
