La Française Diamant. 1910.
Known as “les deux Emiles,” Emile Georget and Emile Friol were the French champions in two different bicycling disciplines—the former in road racing, and the latter in sprints. As national athletic heroes, it seems only natural that they should be chosen to endorse the French “Diamant” brand of bicycle while wearing their country’s colors.
