Poster Banner Hutchinson Tires - circa 1910-1920s

Description

Wonderful advertising banner for Hutchinson tires.
Cobalt blue background. The branding slogan for Hutchinson Tires was 'stronger than steel', thus the m
ain character Sam's occupation is sharpening knives with a tire in lieu of a
wheel sharpening stone. He is always seen with
his dog 'Floc'.
Although founded in 1853, Hutchinson did not begin bicycle tire production until 1890. This figure by Mich became a trademark for the brand, being used in their advertisements until the 1960s.

Circa 1910-1920s by Jean-Marie Michel Liebeaux aka MICH (1881-1923). Affiches Gaillard, Paris.
