DESIGNER UNKNOWN "MARLY." 39x54 1/2 inches, 99x138 1/2 cm. Ch. Wall & Cie., Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins and corners; minor restoration in image. A shabbily-clad and well-armed bandit is accosting a dapper biker, who clings to his bicycle for dear life, clearly perplexed by the choice he has been given, "Your life or your Marly--" perhaps the origin of the age-old Vaudeville gag "your money or your wife." A rare, horizontal format image for a minor, practically unknown, brand of bicycle.
