About The Poster:  A classic poster advertising Cycles Hirondelles St-Etienne, dating from about 1900 and signed N. Vivien. The artist seems to have specialized in animal subjets, and is especially remembered for his renditions of birds. "N. Vivien is recorded as a meticulous painter of birds often in association with platinum grounds. His work was exhibited at the Paris Universelle Exposition of 1878. 
A Narcisse Vivien, possibly one in the same with the present artist, is recorded at 85 Boulevard Voltaire in 1883. In that same year he displayed a faïence work at the Salon de la Société des artistes français." (Source: Christies) Poster is linen backed and in excellent condition.
