Original, vintage, promotional poster published by Hercules Cycles Ltd, celebrating the record-breaking time set by Frank W. Southall on a Hercules bike, 15 March 1934. Southall was described at the time as being ‘Britain’s most famous all-round cyclist’. An unusual design in the form of a Post Office telegram to stress the importance of the achievement.
