Many of Fernel's posters reflect his work as an illustrator of childrens books, as the images predominantly contain children with their mothers. A regular exhibitor at the Salon des Humoristes, Fernel's posters often also contain clever, humorous conceits. This decorative image shows a mother teaching her daughter how to ride a bicycle.
