Hutchinson Tyres Stronger Than Steel
Original vintage advertising poster for the French tyre maker Hutchinson (founded 1853; manufacturing tyres for motorcycles, bicycles and mopeds since 1890): Stronger than Steel / Hutchinson Plus Solide que l’Acier Pneus Cyclomoteur Velo Moto Scooter. Fun and colourful artwork by Guion (inspired by an earlier design by the notable graphic artist Mich), featuring a clown with a beard and moustache and wearing a hat and a red polka dot outfit, riding a stylised image of a bike on two tyres using a knife as the handlebar along the front tire to prove Hutchinson tyres are stronger than steel, set against a bright yellow background with the title above in blue and the rest of the text below with a smaller image of the clown sharpening his knife against a tyre as a dog looks on. Large size. Good condition, waving, restored folds, staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image 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, we 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 £25 for orders placed via our website.
