Surely one of the most grandiose concepts for advertising a bicycle-the woman glorifying the machine with a laurel wreath. Columbia bicycles sponsored a poster contest in 1896; the winner was Maxfield Parrish of Philadelphia, second prize went to O. Rohn of Montclair, New Jersey, and third prize (for this image) went to A. Romes of New York City. It was so popular that it was reprinted in Germany and, as seen here, in France. Columbia Chainless is a brand name of the Pope Manufacturing Co.

Search rules
To improve performance and relevance, our search engine follows specific rules:
· Searching is in boolean mode, which means AND instead of OR.
· Each search term can contain Latin characters from A to Z, digits (0 to 9), apostrophe ('). Quotes (") and hyphen (-) are only accepted as search operators. All other symbols will be ignored.
marc        = Match words beginning with "marc" (marc, marcel, marchal...)
"marc"      = Match the exact term "marc"
gruau dior  = Match both words beginning with "gruau" and "dior" (gruau* dior*)
"man ray"   = Match the exact expression "man ray"
nina -ricci = Match "nina" but not "ricci"
· The minimum length is 3 characters for each word, shorter words are ignored.
· Accentuation and capitalization does not matter (venus, Vénus, vénus are similar).
  (!) However accentuation counts when using a 3 characters word in search.
