A man in tennis whites rides a yellow bicycle while being carried by a magnificent roaring tiger. This 1925 French cycling poster by Martin Dupin depicts the bold spirit of interwar bicycle advertising with its audacious composition and vivid green backdrop.

Designed for Cycles Tigra of Aubervilliers, this poster exemplifies the French advertising industry's flair for memorable imagery. The cyclist's relaxed pose demonstrates the bicycle's reliability while the tiger provides pure visual impact.

Martin Dupin's work belongs to the tradition of French commercial artists who elevated product advertising to fine art. The poster's Art Deco influences are visible in its geometric composition and bold colour palette.

This archival print depicts a moment when French bicycle manufacturers competed through increasingly inventive poster campaigns.
