PAL (JEAN DE PALEOLOGUE) (1860-1942) LA PEORIA. Circa 1898. 62x41 1/2 inches. P. Lemenil, Asnieres. Condition A-: tear through top margin into image. Paper. With the exception of Rayon d'Or<>, Pal is best remembered for his bicycle posters. Perhaps he found something highly erotic in bicycles, as all his posters are extravagant pieces featuring half-naked nymphets, whose posturing consistently flirts with censorship. Here, in keeping with his standard, a charming dragonfly is chasing a bicycle adorned with four little wings on it's wheels. The poster says little about the product, but is indisputably a Pal design.
