PRODUCTION DE LA FRANCE MOTOR CYCLES – MANDEURE (DOUBS)

[A full-page advertisement printed in black and green on a ruled single-line frame. Across the upper half a fan of thin green lines radiates from the lower right toward the top and left edges. At the right a tall black panel with rounded corners holds the four marque names GRIFFON, AIGLON, MÉTÉORE and TROPHÉE DE FRANCE in heavy condensed capitals reversed out in white, with the small word “de” set between TROPHÉE and FRANCE. Below them “les 4 grandes marques” is set in a brush-script lettering, then “DE LA” in small slanted capitals and “FRANCE MOTOR CYCLES” in bold slanted capitals, all reversed out. Down the left side three black silhouettes in solid ink with a few white lines of detail are stacked: a woman with a scarf riding a bicycle fitted with a small engine near the pedals, a man with a pack on his back riding a touring bicycle with drop handlebars, and a man with a woman seated behind him on a motorcycle. A fourth, larger silhouette of a woman in a skirt on a lady’s bicycle with a lamp and a front rack sits at the lower right, above a green strip. At the lower center the letters FMC appear in outlined shaded capitals over a green shield-shaped tab that carries MANDEURE and DOUBS in small white capitals and a small white asterisk; the green rays converge on this tab. The four product lines are set in black roman capitals, centered, to the left of the tab. A solid green band across the foot carries the firm’s name and the town in widely spaced black capitals. A small octagonal agency monogram at the top right shows a trumpet above a stylized letter B or JB. No artist signature is visible on the silhouettes.]
