EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the vibrant cycling culture of London in 1895. The image depicts a bustling scene on Cycling day in Rotten Row, with cyclists of all ages and backgrounds taking to the streets on their bicycles. The photo was taken by an English photographer from the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The photograph is an illustration for the book "London in the Nineties" edited by Leonara Collins and published by Saturn Press in 1950. It offers a glimpse into life during this era, highlighting how cycling was not only a means of transportation but also a popular sport enjoyed by both men and women. In this particular image, we see a female cyclist gracefully riding her bike amidst other riders. Her presence adds an element of femininity to the otherwise male-dominated field sports scene. The contrast between her white attire and the dark tones of the photograph further emphasizes her presence. This snapshot transports us back to early twentieth-century England, providing insight into daily life, fashion trends, and recreational activities at that time. It serves as a reminder that cycling has long been ingrained within British culture, contributing to its rich sporting heritage. Overall, this vintage print encapsulates both historical significance and artistic beauty while celebrating London's love affair with cycling over a century ago.
