[A ruled advertisement in black and white inside a heavy rectangular frame, with the upper left and the lower foreground left empty. Across the upper band, two halftone photographs of a cyclist in a racing cap, each framed as a slightly tilted slab with a drop edge, flank a dark panel with a rounded inner border; in the panel “RECORDS 3 RECORDS” and two lines of condensed capitals stand above the name “Durex” in very heavy rounded white letters with a shadow. The first photograph shows the rider looking down at a wheel with a bent rim and loose spokes, the second shows him in a jersey lettered “Durex” in front of a tire. Below, a ruled box with a stepped top edge lists three numbered records in a bold geometric face, the rider names in capitals. A dark band follows with a hexagonal monogram “PWB” at the left, three paragraphs in white lettering and a line drawing of a hub with a quick-release lever at the right. At the foot the dealer name “HEROLD” is set in heavy slab capitals with an italic line above it and “VILLEMOMBLE (Seine)” in roman capitals below. No artist signature was seen.]
[This advertisement shares its unnumbered page of L’Officiel du cycle with an advertisement for the VéloSolex motorized bicycle.]
