Lithograph on paper C.H. Street was an Art Nouveau artist. This poster shows a landscape with unusual colors. The border is black and gray, while the focus in the center is on the sunset in yellow and orange. We also see a couple driving in an automobile. The young woman looks at this dreamlike setting and the newly found freedom of the automobile. Societe Parisienne (Maison Parisienne), founded by Mr. Reynard, was a French manufacturer of velocipedes, bicycles and tricycles from 1876 to 1903. They began limited automobile production in 1894 and voiturette construction in 1898. Printer Kossuth & Cie 11 Rue des Petits-Hotels, Paris
