A Linenbacked French Advertising Poster (measures 41" x 57" [104 x 145 cm]) (Learn More) Peugeot is a French manufacturer of bicycles and motor vehicles which was founded in the 1800s by Jean Pequignot Peugeot. The company's lion trademark was created in 1858. At first they were a steelworks (creating eating utensils and hydraulic equipment), but started manufacturing bicycles in 1882. The company eventually expanded to other modes of transportation, and during World War I (WWI), Peugeot built nearly 63,000 bicycles per year, as well as 9,000 cars and trucks, 1,000 motorcycles and 10,000 plane engines. In 1926, the auto and bicycle manufacturing divisions at Peugeot were divided. Automobiles were constructed at Automobiles Peugeot, while bicycles were made at Cycles Peugeot. Artist: Ernest Barthelemy Lem Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 41" x 57" [104 x 145 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had darkened somewhat. It had tears and some stains around the edges, with a vertical tear running through the hat and face of the woman at upper left, but no paper loss, and it had paper loss in the bottom right corner, affecting the letters, and that likely occurred after the poster was backed. It appears that either before or after the poster was backed, it was displayed and faded somewhat. The poster is in urgent need of restoration. It was linenbacked onto a thin linen with no excess, and I would certainly recommend having it re-backed. Please bear all of the above in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
