The Story Behind the Print
Exposition Automobile Cycle Cappiello Poster Print
This Exposition Automobile Cycle poster print is a museum quality reproduction of Leonetto Cappiello's 1921 French automobile and cycling exhibition advertising artwork. A heroic figure rises above a motorcar grille while white ribbons spell out the automobile, cycle, and sports exhibition against a vivid red field.
The composition works beautifully in garages, offices, showrooms, cycling studios, workshops, studies, restaurants, and collected transportation-art walls. The Grand Palais event lettering, red background, and car-front base give it a powerful mix of early motor culture and theatrical Cappiello movement.
Premium Archival Quality
Printed on heavyweight museum grade matte paper for exceptional fine art quality and long term durability. The archival paper helps preserve the saturated red ground, white ribbon typography, motorcar grille, headlamps, raised figure, and small Grand Palais text. High resolution preparation keeps the artwork clear and lifelike, even at larger sizes.
A Thoughtful Gift (frame not included) This vintage poster print is a refined gift for car enthusiasts, cyclists, motorsport collectors, garage decorators, Paris lovers, and buyers drawn to early transportation advertising. It works well for birthdays, housewarmings, holidays, office refreshes, creative studios, restaurant projects, or interiors that celebrate historic graphic design.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“I contacted Paola and asked if she could print me a Sanibel Island map - even though there wasn't one on her page for sale. She immediately responded with "yes" and sent me a photograph before printing for me to approve. My package came well protected; and my picture is absolutely perfect! It looks beautiful in the distressed wood frame I bought. My mom is going to love it; and now I have to order one for myself!”
“I absolutely love my framed map of Charleston. I ordered the 36x48 and it looks gorgeous hanging in my kitchen. The size makes it such a statement piece and everyone comments on how much they like it! It came with the hanging hardware, which was helpful and easy to use.”
