Georges Picard (1857-1943) Salon de l'Automobile. 1906. SIZE: 47 1/4 x 80 5/8 in./120 x 205 cm PRINTER: Imp. J. Barreau, Paris DESCRIPTION: She's got a ticket to ride, and the perfect ensemble to boot: a massive fur coat and aviator goggles should do the job while zooming high above the Grand Palais, where the program indicates the event was held. Picard's design for the 1906 Auto Show conjures elements of a fairy tale or a fantastic dream: the lights of Paris all aglow, the engine's smoke an opalescent blur, and a lush red Bayard cruising high above the rooftops. This is a two-sheet poster. (Art Nouveau; Automobiles)
