Ráfaga bycicle, Spain.

This original Spanish advertising poster for Ráfaga – La campeona de Aragón is a stunning example of early 20th-century commercial art — where industry, speed, and regional pride come together in one unforgettable image.
At the center, a bicycle quite literally takes flight. With delicate wings attached to its frame, it rises above the skyline of Zaragoza, crowned by the unmistakable silhouette of La Pilarica. The message is bold and poetic:
“No corre… vuela.”
(It doesn’t run… it flies.)
The design is elegant and optimistic — soft sky blues, warm golden architecture, and strong, confident typography. It reflects a moment when the bicycle symbolized freedom, progress, and modernity. Owning this poster means owning a piece of that era’s aspiration — when cycling was not just transport, but a statement of innovation and independence.
Printed in Barcelona by C. Friedrichs, this is not just advertising — it is graphic heritage. The composition blends Art Nouveau softness with early Art Deco strength, making it visually striking and historically meaningful.
