original Art Deco advertising poster for the FN M70 "Sahara" motorcycle. The poster was created circa 1928 and printed by Imp. Bénard SA, Liège.
Poster Information
Motorcycle Model: The poster advertises the FN M70 "Sahara," a 348cc side-valve single-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Belgian company Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN).
Nickname Origin: The "Sahara" nickname was coined after two French army officers and a Belgian mechanic successfully crossed the Sahara desert on three M70 models in 1927, a feat that provided significant publicity for the motorcycle's reliability and durability.
Design: The poster is a rare example of original Belgian Art Deco design, featuring a vibrant lithographic print of a couple on the motorcycle against a striking blue and gold backdrop.
Printer: The text at the bottom right indicates it was printed by "IMP. BENARD S.A. LIEGE". |
