Cycling was popular spectator sport in Paris during the 1890's. Lautrec was an enthusiastic follower and created this poster to advertise a new bicycle chain for the director of the Simpson Cycle and Bicycle Chain Company, Louis 'Spoke' Bouglé. The chain was incorrectly drawn however, and not used, but Lautrec proceeded to print an edition and give them to racing fans.
