Elswick Pioneers Of Cycle Design
Original vintage advertising poster for Elswick Cycles Pioneers of Cycle Design featuring a great image of a smiling lady wearing a stylish red top, shorts, white belt and blue and white striped summer shoes, looking at the viewer and holding her bike under a tree with the hills reflected on the water in the background, the title on the blue border above and an image of The Badge of Craftsmanship logo on the side inscribed Elswick Barton-on-Humber England with a seahorse on choppy waves.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
