The satirical universe of Robert Storm Petersen (1882-1949) is known in particular from his series of drawings and text in newspapers such as Ekstra Bladet and the daily newspaper B.T., but he also painted watercolours and oil paintings, and drew many posters throughout his career.
In the watercolour A shower from 1940, which this poster is reproduced after, appears one of Storm P.'s recurring figures, the vagabond. Here in a scarce, cheerful scene, which illustrates the conditions of the road rider.
