The tandem is fully-laden, with bulging brown leather panniers on the rear rack. Henry Le Monnier (1893 to 1978) designed the poster, in 1938. He worked as a poster artist for the printer Joseph Charles from 1934 to 1943.
On the poster
A man and a woman in matching red jackets and white-brimmed caps pedal a loaded tandem along a French country road. Poplar trees line the background and a small white farmhouse sits to the right. Hand-lettered script at top left runs in two lines: "La route est belle!.. avec..." [The road is lovely!.. with...]. Bold red slab-serif type at the bottom reads "CYCLO-TOURISTE ERIOL".
