Each member of this elegant family of cyclists looks in a different direction, and as viewers, we are first drawn to the bike in the center.

It is an effective advertisement that also serves as a beautiful work of art. Achille Butteri plays with the Art Nouveau style of flattened planes, notably in the attire of each rider. The Art Nouveau movement was heavily influenced by the flattened planes of Japanese prints, widely seen for the first time in France and the Western world at that time. Art Nouveau is closely related to the Arts and Crafts movement of decoration and architecture; both were embraced by artists seeking to reject the clinical and routine designs stemming from the industrial revolution.

Alphonse Mucha and Gustav Klimt are two of the most well-known artists who worked in this style. Cycles Perfecta was a British bicycle company that also sold its products in France.

By the end of the 19th century, the bicycle was the most widely used mode of transportation for most people. Faced with the growing interest in the newly invented automobile, bicycle manufacturers made effective use of poster advertising to promote their products.
