Note: Henri Thiriet aka Henry Thiriet (1873–1946) was a prolific French poster artist, book illustrator and painter.[1] Although responsible for many memorable posters, almost nothing is known about Thiriet’s life and career. He painted in a flamboyant Art Nouveau style, using its characteristic curves and swirls, and a colourful palette to create imagery bearing his clear stamp. Bicycles and their manufacturers are a recurring subject in his work, and the majority of his posters were designed for Omega, Griffiths and Dayton Cycles.
