After the advertising poster for the Paris offices of Pnue Beeston (Beeston Pneumatic Tyre Company, Ltd.) by Alfred Choubrac, ca. 1890-95. Text loosely translates to: "The King of the Road / Sole Distributors / Dusseldorp and Co." Beeston Tyres was an English tire brand with distribution throught the UK and Europe. A classic example of Belle Epoque marketing for the recently established Industrial Revolution.
