[A large ruled advertisement in a double-ruled frame with a gap in the top rule at the upper left. At the upper left an eagle in outline perches on a small roundel with a stylized emblem, above the name “GNUTTI” in heavy white capitals inside a rounded black frame; “ÉQUIPE LES CHAMPIONS” in condensed capitals follows, and the headline “LA GRANDE MARQUE ITALIENNE” runs across the top. Fine line-and-halftone drawings show a large chainwheel with three-armed spider and a crank arm, a bottom-bracket axle with a cup, a pedal with rubber blocks, a column of six headset parts, four front and rear hubs with quick-release levers and a single crank arm on its own. A boxed line “PRÉCISION – QUALITÉ – ÉLÉGANCE” in heavy slab capitals crosses the lower part. Text blocks are set in spaced light capitals, with the distributor name in bold and the address below it. Small eagle marks appear on several of the parts. There is no artist signature. Faint text from the reverse shows through at the lower left. The scan includes the paper edge.]
