[A cream sheet with a black band at the top and a pink-and-cream disc behind the picture. LA FRANÇAISE DIAMANT is arched in blue capitals over the disc. A caricatured figure with long hair, a plumed bicorne hat, a blue tailcoat with gold epaulettes and a satchel, and red-and-white striped trousers waves one arm as he pedals a black roadster bicycle; a faint oval badge of the marque shows behind him. The pencil-thin lines of the wheels sweep round in rings.]
