Automobiles Brasier / Le Trèfle à Quatre Feuilles: French automobile manufacturer between 1900 and 1930.

Description:
A driver speeds along in his car, much to the delight of his passenger, who holds onto her hat for fear it might fly away.

"Most often, Cappiello draws his effect from the very coloring itself. But this colorful effect, he finds more often in the bizarre, much more than in harmony...
It will serve to recommend to us the fashionable car, an automobile in motion, speeding toward us in a rainbow of colored dust"
P. Verneuil "Art et Décoration" 1907, page 194.

"This poster is in the style of the drawings or paintings of the time depicting major automobile races, where power, speed, and dust always appear in different forms."
[in Cappiello 1875-1942 : Caricatures, affiches, peintures et projets décoratifs, 1981]
