EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, a time when transportation was undergoing a remarkable transformation. Two cyclists, dressed in fashionable Victorian attire, gracefully ride their penny farthing bicycles through the bustling streets of an era long gone. The image is extracted from "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte Vom Mittelalter Bis Zur Gegenwart" by Eduard Fuchs, published in 1909. The towering wheels of these highwheelers symbolize both the ingenuity and audacity of this period. As they navigate through everyday life on these extraordinary contraptions, we catch a glimpse into the evolving world of transport and leisure activities during that time. The couple's choice to embrace cycling as a hobby showcases their adventurous spirit and willingness to embrace new experiences. Their confident postures exude an air of freedom and independence that resonates even today. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also offers insight into fashion trends prevalent during the late 19th century. The couple's clothing reflects the elegance and refinement associated with Victorian society. Preserved by Ken Welsh for our enjoyment today, this image reminds us of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times. It serves as a testament to human innovation and our eternal desire for exploration – on two wheels or otherwise.
