Reference: Ref: DFP-II, 749; Weill, 75; PAI-LXXI, 8
Key Words: Bicycle; Art Nouveau
Cycles Plasson. 1897.
Robbe only produced a handful of posters; two were for the Plasson bicycle company. Fascinatingly, they work together as a complete visual story. This one Cycles Plasson poster shows a woman in bloomers (excellent cycling attire for the new lady of the '90s) alighting on her Plasson Cycle, ignoring the mockery of her skirted counterparts for bucking against feminine traditions.
