The Road Rights of Wheelmen 1895 E. Nadall Eye-catching posters advertising books and literary magazines were ubiquitous in cities across the United States in the 1890s. Publicizing the first book on bicycle etiquette, Nadall's poster attests to the rise in popularity of cycling among middle- and upper-class Americans who engaged in the leisure activity during moments of downtime. Poster artists frequently featured bicycles in their designs to communicate values of cosmopolitan sophistication. Engaging the style of art nouveau, Nadall exaggerated the volume of the cyclist's sleeves and breeches and the vertical thrust of the vegetation surrounding her.. The Road Rights of Wheelmen. E. Nadall (American, active 1895). 1895. Commercial color lithograph. Callaghan & Company, Chicago
