Cycles Labor - Monkeys

Talk about 'monkey see, monkey do'! This charming image was created around 1910 for bicycle producer, Cycles Labor. An unseen professor has placed a drawing of the latest model of the company on display at the center of the room. Like in any respectable art class, the monkeys measure and assess prospective as they look to recreate the cycle for themselves. The bottom text roughly translates to, " A copy will never be the same as a Labor". The message here is that Cycles Labor prodcts are often reproduced, but are never as good as the original. It's a funny poster with a great yellow and red color palette.

During the early 20th century, Cycles Labor gained prominence for its innovative designs and attention to detail. The company was known for incorporating advanced materials and techniques into their bicycles, which helped enhance performance and durability. Their bicycles were popular among racing enthusiasts and everyday riders alike.
