Georges Favre Cycles Dilecta. ca. 1928. SIZE: 31 5/8 x 45 3/4 in./80.3 x 116.3 cm PRINTER: Affiches Gaillard, Paris DESCRIPTION: Cycles Dilecta was founded by the racing bicyclist Albert Chichery in 1912. Eventually, he would buy out De Dion-Bouton, and combine their markets for cycles, motorbikes, and even some automobiles. What’s interesting is that Favre’s design here seems to imitate the original logo of the manufacturer, in which an A is laid on top of a very ovular C. (Art Deco; Bicycles)
