A cyclist has ridden up a stepladder and is balanced on the top rung, grinning.
Michel Liebeaux (1881 to 1923) made the poster around 1922. He signed his work "Mich". Born in Périgueux and trained in Nantes, he illustrated for the sports daily L'Auto and did advertising work for Citroën, Hutchinson tyres and several cycle makers.
On the poster
A caricature cyclist in a cap pushed back over goggles pilots a green-framed bicycle on the top rung of a yellow A-frame stepladder, front wheel tilting skyward. The background is flat cobalt-blue. Red-orange slab-serif at the base reads "LA BICYCLETTE J.B. LOUVET", and the yellow italic slogan at top right reads "Elle grimpe tout!" (It climbs everything.)
