Alcyon / André Leducq. 1932.
This poster for Alcyon cycles features not only the likeness of André Leducq, member of the 1932 Tour de France championship team, but also his wholehearted endorsement for the Alcyon line as well: "When it comes to constructing a proper cycle, Alcyon has been indispensable for the past 30 years to race participation." Add this to the fact that Alcyon served as the ride of choice for a total of seven Tour de France victories up to this point and you've created a recipe for surefire sales.
