[A mustached smith in a cap, a striped jersey and a leather apron stands holding the handlebars of a black bicycle. Behind him a glowing red forge fills the center and a second smith holds a hammer and tongs beside an anvil. A bird’s-eye view of the Petit-Bourg works, with smoking chimneys, fills the left panel. The title is lettered in large red and blue capitals.]
