CYCLES COMIOT — Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen
Original stone-lithograph plate issued in 1899 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Maîtres de l’Affiche. This plate (no. 183) features Steinlen’s celebrated design for Cycles Comiot, created at the height of the Belle Époque cycling boom.

The poster highlights the exhilaration of modern speed: a rider charges forward on a Comiot bicycle while pursued by racing dogs, the composition filled with humor and energy. Steinlen’s strong diagonals and expressive line work capture both motion and excitement, while appealing to the new culture of cycling that swept through Paris in the 1890s.

Les Maîtres de l’Affiche (1895–1900) was a prestigious subscription series directed by Jules Chéret, presenting small-format original lithographs of the era’s most important posters. Printed at Chaix on fine wove paper and issued with the blindstamp, these plates gave collectors direct access to authentic works by leading poster artists, including Steinlen, Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Chéret himself.
