ARTIST UNKNOWN GNOME RHONE MOTOCYCLETTES. Circa 1935. 44 3/4x31 1/4 inches. Illustra, Paris. Condition A-: minor repaired tears and creases in margins; horizontal fold. An extraordinary image for a brand of motorcycle that was very popular in France between the wars. Seen head-on, a stylized rider is hunched over his handlebars. With a small injection of science fiction fantasy he is depicted with what can only be interpreted as haute design, Art Deco wings. In fact the image is a photomontage, as his motorcycle is a black and white photograph. The oversized lettering adds to the bizarre visual impression creating a superb image.
