Carl Hans Ress Dunlop. ca. 1920. SIZE: 23 1/2 x 33 7/8 in./59.7 x 86 cm DESCRIPTION: For Dunlop, "The pearl of all pneumatics," Ress has created an elegantly refined image devoid of any tires—save for his circular frame around a sun-drenched redhead. John Boyd Dunlop created the company after developing a practical inflatable tire for his son's tricycle, which served as the prototype for his bike tire manufacturing. The company later expanded to include automobile tires and various rubber products, like watering hoses. (Art Nouveau; Bicycles; Automobiles; German)
