Bibendum has a passenger: an Edwardian woman in a scarlet dress, waving to the crowd from behind him. O'Galop (Marius Rossillon, 1867 to 1946) designed the poster for Michelin in the 1900s. Rossillon had created the tyre-figure mascot for Michelin in 1898.
On the poster
Bibendum rides a black bicycle across a moonlit Parisian park. A smiling full moon hangs in a cobalt blue sky at upper right, and glass coldframe panels in the foreground shelter flowering plants. Yellow outlined block capitals above read "PNEU VELO MICHELIN". Below: "LE MEILLEUR, LE MOINS CHER" [the best, the cheapest].
