Griffon was one of the earlier French bicycle producers, but not much history about the company has been preserved. This poster highlights not just the company's bicycles but also its motorcycles. Famous cyclist Arthur Chase is seen trying to overtake the pacing bike in an exciting race at the Velodrom "Buffalo" in Paris. Chase was a British cyclist who was a champion rider from 1896 - 1902. Interestingly, after retirement Chase went on to found a motorcycle company called Chase Brothers.
The artist, Louis Trinquier Trianon (1853 - 1922) created a small group of well designed travel posters in the very early 1900's.

What People Are Saying...

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
