In an age of sophisticated communication apparatuses and widespread cell phone use, it's somewhat hard to wrap one's mind around the fact that bicycles were an extremely important military vehicle,
not just in terms of troop transportation as seen in Fongers posters, but also for delivering important envoys. This Marodon poster for Brilliant bicycles elevates this overlooked facet of military
communications with dramatic sweep and heroic majesty.
