"This beautiful poster for Northampton bicycles well illustrates the impact and power of this masterful artist. It is more the sure power of a revving engine than of actual movement; there is so much self-assurance in both content and style that one does not need proof of speed or even mobility. The composition, design, and color are so perfect here that it's one of the few posters of which it may be said that to move one line or change one shade would be unimaginable" (Bicycle Posters, p. 11). This poster includes Sagot’s stamp on the verso, and is the finest specimen of this image we’ve ever seen, with vivid colors.
