The style indicates a Dutch, or maybe Belgian, bike.

Jacques Anquetil, in 1951, pictured with what looks to be an Automoto Champion Du Monde. Automoto, a brand with an enormous heritage, was bought by Peugeot in 1959 and killed soon after.

Honestly, I want to do a google search on this image. I found it on the interwebz and I don't remember the source.

A great pic is never off-topic, so...
From an exhibition of Ghanese photographer James Barnor's work. Pic is from '58 and the bike is a Rudge Withworth btw — says so on the chain guard.

Nice to see this topic back on page one. 
Amsterdam, 1966. Students Bert Smit and Pieter van der Steen are about to set off "to measure and test gears in Europe", according to the description that came with these pictures. I suspect Huret had something to do with this.

I was going to ask if you've got more info on it, but google images solved that:
