Black splashes fly off both wheels of the racer, and the lettering overhead says why: "Elle éclabousse tout!!" Jean-Marie Michel Liebeaux (1881 to 1923), who signed as Mich, designed the poster around 1920 for the Cycles Wonder marque of Saint-Étienne, Loire. Mich also drew for Citroën and Hutchinson. The Ravat company, founded in 1898, was producing around 80,000 bicycles and motorcycles a year by 1925.
On the poster
A helmeted road racer in a red jersey leans hard over the dropped bars of a white-tyred bicycle. Bold black splash streaks radiate from both wheels across a saturated emerald green ground. The tagline arches overhead: "Elle éclabousse tout!!" (She splashes everything!). Red and white type anchors the lower third.
