Lithograph on paper Misti, the pseudonym of Ferdinand Mifliez, was trained as an industrial designer and in 1890 he started working as a lithographer at Cheret's Chaix printing house. Work by Misti was often shown at the Salon des Artistes Francais. Counted among the finest artists of his time, Misti was mainly known for his explicit and direct style. His powerful use of line and color and his dislike of superfluous ornamentation have inspired many young artists. This is the second poster of a cinematic triptych. In this poster the spectators turn their backs to the viewer in order to follow the progress of the automobile on the steep road: "It can only be ..." ("Ah! Ca ne peut etre qu'une...").
