When Parisian artists elevated the poster to a high art in the 1890s, some of the first subjects they rendered for mass distribution were sporting events. Bicycle racing, rowing, and auto racing became standard fare for poster advertising. Later, resort promoters used recreational sports to advertise their destinations, so many travel posters featured skiing and sailing.
