Condition: A-/ Slight tears in margins.
Printer: Imp. Robert, Paris
Key Words: Art Nouveau; Bicycles
Alcyon.
Now here’s a sadistic twist on the concept of temptation: our poor friend, who appears to be amputated, is crestfallen that he will not be able to ride off on a new bicycle. And while the public may pity him, they’re also likely to take advantage of their ambulatory status and hop on their new Alcyon. Launched in 1890 in Neuilly, Alcyon produced bicycles, motorcycles, and voiturettes until 1954.
