PARMI LES CATALOGUES
LA PLAQUETTE STELLA
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The journal says it examined with pleasure the latest edition of the very fine catalog of Stella cycles, the well-known make from Nantes. It admires the six fine compositions by Paul Ordner that illustrate the brochure, which also holds 16 superb color reproductions of the firm’s cycles. It concludes that the catalog deserves to be cited as an example, for its documentary interest as much as for its artistic value.]
[A short text item with no illustration, set in roman type in one wide column. The heading “PARMI LES CATALOGUES” is centered in large, widely spaced light roman capitals, and the subheading “LA PLAQUETTE STELLA” below it is centered in bold sans-serif capitals. The brand name Stella is set in italics within the first paragraph. No firm address, price or signature appears.]
