EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Bicycles in the German Army, Soldiers returning Home on Furlough Riding through a Village" captures a unique moment in history. Created by Henry Marriott Paget and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during their furlough. The scene depicts German army soldiers riding bicycles through a quaint village as they make their way back home. Clad in their uniforms and carrying knapsacks, these riders bring an air of astonishment to the local folk who watch them pass by. The roads are filled with cyclists, showcasing the popularity of cycling as both a sport and mode of transportation during that time. The image not only showcases the practicality of bicycles for military use but also highlights how cycling was becoming increasingly popular among civilians across Germany. With garrison clubhouses dotting towns and villages throughout North Germany, it is evident that bicycling had become quite fashionable. This engraving from 1898 provides us with valuable insights into German culture at that time. It reminds us that even amidst military duties and obligations, soldiers found joy in simple pleasures like biking together with friends. As we admire this historical piece, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both the spirit of camaraderie among soldiers and the growing enthusiasm for cycling within European society.
