Aumon is an interesting poster. It is one of the most unusual vintage
bicycle posters. It depicts a thin man in a suit and spats riding a bicycle.
There are wings on his wheels and his hat is flying off of his head. A
little white dog is running alongside the back wheel. The man has an amused
smile on his face.
Some vintage bicycle posters were put out for a specific event. The 1954
Cycling Peace Race, Warsaw, Prague, Berlin, was such a poster. It shows two
athletic-looking cyclists racing towards the front. A crowd and high flying
flags appear tiny in the background.
Some vintage bicycle posters were meant for simple advertisement. The
Simplex Bicycle poster of 1915, from Amsterdam Holland, simply gave
information about the specifications of the bicycle. It shows an ordinary
man from behind as he rides away down the street.
If you do not know foreign languages, you might want to get someone who does
to translate the foreign words for you before you buy vintage bicycle
posters. You will want to know what you are hanging on the wall. Besides, it
is an interesting conversation-starter if you can tell people what the
poster says. Vintage bicycle posters are not only interesting, they are also
beautiful and an inexpensive form of art.
