VIE AU GRAND AIR
FRANÇOIS FABER, VAINQUEUR DE PARIS-ROUBAIX
François Faber, sur sa bicyclette Peugeot, a remporté la victoire dans Paris-Roubaix, en couvrant les 26[5] kilomètres en 7 h. 20 m. battant le record de 24 minutes.
[The final caption line runs off the foot of the sheet in the only available scan. Everything after “en couvrant” is read from the visible upper halves of the letters, and the bracketed digit is inferred rather than seen.]
[Printed in blue inside a heavy oval on a finely striped ground, with cyclist roundels at the upper corners. Faber sits astride his machine in a dark jersey with a spare tubular over his shoulders, while a man in a fur-collared overcoat and goggled cap stands beside him holding a bouquet across the bars.]
