Patin-Bicyclette — Jean de Paléologue, 1890s

A woman in a brilliant red skating costume glides confidently past a fallen gentleman in Jean de Paléologue’s lively 1890s advertisement for the Patin-Bicyclette. Her feathered hat, black scarf, fitted jacket, long skirt, and unusual wheeled skates create a striking figure against the restrained winter setting.

The humorous scene contrasts the woman’s new wheeled-skate technology with a man who has fallen while ice skating on the neighboring pond. Curving yellow “Patin-Bicyclette” lettering fills the upper portion of the composition, while the Richard-Choubersky name forms a strong blue base below. Signed “PAL,” the poster combines fashion, movement, humor, and commercial graphic design in a large-format Parisian chromolithograph.
