Cycles Humber. ca. 1906. SIZE: 43 x 59 1/4 in./109.3 x 150.5 cm PRINTER: Imp. Caby & Chardin, Paris DESCRIPTION: Formed in England by Thomas Humber in 1869, Humber Cycles would eventually, like so many bicycle companies, become dominated by its automobile division. At the turn of the century, though, bicycles were still all the rage, as can be seen in this dreamy design which gives a heavy nod to Mucha’s poster for Cycles Perfecta. In both, only a hint of the bicycle is shown, while the heavenly muse grabs our attention. (Art Nouveau; Bicycles)
