Cycles and Automobiles
1897
Eugène Grasset’s 1897 poster for Georges Richard perfectly captures the Art Nouveau craze, blending a fashionable red-haired woman with a giant four-leaf clover to advertise bicycles and early automobiles. The flowing, wavy lines and stylized typography were revolutionary at the time, turning a simple commercial ad into a piece of high art that people actually wanted to hang on their walls. Notice how she casually leans on her bicycle handlebar, showing off the brand's 'lucky' four-leaf clover logo while looking effortlessly chic in her vibrant orange dress.
