Deuxième Salon du Cycle. 1894.
In advertising the second annual Salon du Cycle, Forain created an image which would cause Maindron to later exclaim, “This poster is perfect.” Delicate in sweet pastel shades, this is the larger, two-sheet version of the image, and the finest specimen we’ve ever seen.
