EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of cycling in America during the late 19th century. The display card showcases an elegant ladies' cycling dress, dating back to around 1890. What makes this attire particularly intriguing is the unique combination of a skirt worn over knickerbockers, which was considered revolutionary for its time. The lithograph beautifully depicts a woman confidently riding her bicycle while donning this fashionable ensemble. It highlights both style and practicality, as the skirt allows for freedom of movement while maintaining modesty. This image serves as a testament to the changing societal norms and evolving role of women in transportation and sports. Transportation played a crucial role in shaping society during this period, with bicycles becoming increasingly popular among all social classes. As more women embraced cycling as a means of independent mobility, specialized clothing like this became essential to accommodate their newfound freedom. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph offers us an opportunity to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such intricate lithographs. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring life to an era long gone by. Whether you are interested in fashion history or simply captivated by glimpses into our past, this American display card showcasing ladies' cycling dress c1890 is sure to transport you back in time and spark your imagination about how far we have come since then.
