Lithograph on paper Henry Le Monnier, born in Paris, studied at the Ecole Pilon and the School of Fine Arts in Paris. As a poster artist he worked for various printing houses; Lutecia (1923-32), Joseph Charles (1934–43) and Gaillard (1934–54). In addition, he also worked as an illustrator. Le Monniers skill as a lithographer can be seen in the various brands he promoted, from Perrier water to Automobiles Unic and La savon Soprosoie. His numerous Art Deco works show a sense of humor and a sharp eye for detail. A fashionable lady in a red dress and white hat sits on an Englebert motorcycle tire. Englebert was a leading tire manufacturer, founded in 1868 by Oscar Englebert in Liege, Belgium. The suggestion of movement and especially speed (an important characteristic of tires and automobiles) is clearly visible in the dress of the lady in question.
