AU SALON : Hall du Cycle, Stand 49
[A tall narrow advertisement inside a ruled black frame, text and one photograph, printed in black on tinted paper. At the top left, in small italic type, “Au Salon du Cycle Stand n° 49”. Across the upper part sits the firm’s mark: a black rounded lozenge with fine white lines radiating across it, carrying the name “ALCYON” in white outline capitals between two horizontal white bars; below it “COURBEVOIE (Seine)” is set in thin roman capitals. Under that “Tous les modèles” is lettered in large black brush script on two lines. A list follows in tall condensed black capitals, each line marked by a black star: bicycles, the Alcyonnette, vélomoteurs and faired motorcycles, the last line giving the engine sizes at the right. Below the list is a coarse halftone photograph, wider than the column, of a man and a woman riding two up on a motorcycle seen from the front left on a grassy lane: both wear helmets and goggles and light sweaters, the man grips the handlebar with a dark glove and the woman sits behind him with her hand on his waist. A one-line italic caption sits under the photograph. A ruled band under the caption carries “VENTE A CRÉDIT, 9 et 12 MOIS” in bold spaced italic capitals, and the stand line in spaced roman capitals closes the sheet below the frame. No artist signature is visible.]
[This advertisement shares page 46 of L’Officiel du cycle with an advertisement for S.E.R. auxiliary engines.]
