Terrot / Dijon / Cycles Motocycles. ca. 1902.
Tamagno's angle for Terrot cycles? Attitude—and lots of it, usually in the form of a woman delighting in besting the competition, whether that's other bikers, autos, or airplanes. Here, upon a mountaintop, she's dusting off the sweaty and exhausted laggards with a gesture of an elegant kiss-off: the epitome of feminine attitude. Terrot bikes were successful enough during the 1890s, but the firm really came into its own with motorcycles as of 1901, and remained in business until the 1960s with one of the best makes in France.
